Link doesn't work. Does the recall only apply to 45 ACP? I've got 10 boxes of 40 S&W Hi-Shok, and a whole mess of AE in 9 mm.

I got this one to work:

but had to get "re-directed" by constant contact, clicked again and this one goes through.

Yeah I posted this up in general gun discussion a couple days ago. Luckily I realized it didn't apply to their cheapo walmart ammo

The WMart in McComb is now selling the Federal "Champion" (maroon box 230gr FMJ) .45ACP again. The man I know who works there in sporting goods said they pulled it all and kept it in the back until someone checked the lot numbers and verified they were ok to sell.
