Does anybody have trouble with Remington 9mm 115 gr. bulk ammunition?
Such as misfires or squibs?

I've shot thousands of Rem UMC 115 gr through my Glock 17s and 34 and no issues.  I've heard numerous complaints about UMC, but it's actually one of my favorite bulk ammo.  That and S&B 115 gr. 

I've had some trouble with a particular case of Federal Target 115 gr (white boxes).  Speculation was that it was underpowered and causing some malfunctions.  Tested on my guns and other guns that were otherwise reliable.

yeah, i stocked up on a ton of 9mm whenever it got to $250 or below a case since ogc was going to have a range
been slowly shooting it all off since the range never happened
only have 3 cases left now (i think i sold two cases to fund a rifle)
i have 2-3 cases of federal white box left too
will have to decide what to do when xring range opens...

I don't think there is a serious problem with the ammo.
I did experience some under powered rounds in the past, but hey....on the plus side it's good malfunction training practice...LOL
After all, it is practice ammunition and nothing more.

I recently bought a case of the Federal white box and my Kimber 9mm started to stovepipe every 100 rounds or so.  At first I thought it was the new Wilson Combat magazines but after the last  jam I came to the realization that the ammo may be the problem.  drck1000's comment about Fed white box seems to confirm my suspicions.

I've personally witnessed a bunch of them.  This is not only bulk but also stuff from 50 round boxed ammo. 

As far as type............all of them.........bullets with bad QC, no primer hole, squibs, damaged case (in a 50 round box), etc.

^^^The crazy thing is not that they have QC issues.  The crazy thing is they are rarely the same thing................
