Late last week, Winchester announced a product warning and recall for two batches of their .17 HMR ammunition. Winchester stated that loads from these two lots could be missing powder.

Some might mock a Marine shooting a pistol one-handed. We all know that would be pretty unwise. Especially as this Marine is Sgt. Maj. John Canley – a recent Medal of Honor recipient.
