Again this is not an issue for 45 ACP in a revolver.

My bad

(that's the second "embarrassed face" I've had to use today)

Weighing the rounds will show if any are heavier or lighter than they should be.

It it were me - I would pull the bullets and dispose of the powder.

the wieghigh of the rounds doesn't work so well. variances of bullet weights and the weights of the cases is enough to cover up a missing 6 gr powder charge sometimes.

I've done the pull them all if you not sure route and that is the way to go

I would have to agree with bgreener on this one. I have taken apart loaded ammo "after" weighing the rounds, finding considerable variances in OA weight, and nothing in powder weight. There are too many variables coming into play to not be sure of your load. I, also, have pulled the bullets on many of rounds for peace of mind, weighing does not assure a whole lot of anything.

I'm going to take a wild guess here.
Someone who buys commercial reloads probably does not have a reloading setup.

I buy commercial, and I do reload as well. Depends on the price.

The latest chapter...
My son-in-law got the Sig back (via our LGS) on Friday. We took it to the range on Friday. He seemed to not hesitate with the first magazine.
So, it looks like there is no loss of confidence.

Sig gave him a whole new upper... slide, firing pin/spring/plate, extractor and even a new set of Novak tritium sights.
The broken slide had all the parts still there but Sig ground off a chunk of the front, bottom edge so the slide can never be used.
We did not expect a wholesale replacement. The sights,
extractor, etc., will be added to the parts stash. Sig replaced both
grips at no charge. The pistol looks NIB. All this cost $200 plus $28 S/H.
Now THAT is Customer Service the way it should be!

John will take photos of the broken slide and the blown casing and see if the ammo supplier will cover even a portion of repair.
When he gets the photos, we will add them here as reference.

So, we had a good day at the range on Saturday.

In the meantime, he bought a Kimber Super Carry Pro... birthday money and a good price was irresistible.
A sweet pistol for sure. Right size for CCW.

Sounds like Sig did right by your son in law.

That's good news. Looks like Sig fixed it the right way.
