Just got a notice that Winchester has recalled a bunch of 9MM 115 grain FMJ & HP.. After checking my ammo stash I found I had a few boxes of the questionable if will fire correctly defunct ammo..... Below are a couple of pics showing where the symbols identifying it as one of the recall lots are located. I bought 5 boxes of the ammo this past Monday and the other 2 boxes about 2 months ago. So it looks like any Winchester 115 grain FMJ & HP ammo purchased in the past 2-3 months is suspect for the recall. Below is the notice emailed to me with the details telling the what, why & how concerning the safety issues & the returning/exchanging of the ammo.

Winchester has determined the above lots of 9mm Luger 115 FMJ and JHP ammunition may contain propellant that does not properly ignite and burn when the cartridge is fired. Ammunition containing propellant that does not properly ignite and burn may result in a bullet remaining in the barrel (i.e., a bullet-in-bore obstruction). Firing a subsequent bullet into the bore obstruction could cause firearm damage, rendering the firearm inoperable and subjecting the shooter and bystanders to a risk of serious personal injury.
