Found this in my email when I got home from work:

NEWINGTON, N.H., (August 22, 2022) – Sig Sauer has determined that portions of Lot No. JDAR0815 of SIG SAUER 9MM, 115gr, Elite Ball, FMJ (SKU E9MMB1-50), may have powder charge variations that could result in a bullet remaining in the barrel (i.e., a bullet-in-bore obstruction). Firing a subsequent bullet into a bore obstruction could cause firearm damage, rendering the firearm inoperable and subjecting the shooter and bystanders to a risk of serious personal injury.



Ammunition from this lot should be removed from use immediately and segregated from other ammunition until it can be returned to SIG SAUER.



DO NOT USE LOT NUMBER: JDAR0815

Thanks for the post. I don’t have any of this brand but, am surprised at the source. Back in the early1980’s, when I started reloading .38 special and .45 ACP, I missed powder charge metering in a few casings. Especially when I went from single stage RCBS press to Dillon RL550 progressive reloading. I learned to pack 8” dowel rods that fit 38, 45 bores, in my range bag. Shoot slow, pay careful attention to low, different muzzle reports. Also slow down the reloading process, check powder dump level in cases often.
