I was planing on going out this weekend and putting a box or two of ammo through my Glock 23c. So I stopped in Walmart and picked up a box of Federal 40 cal. When I got home I read on the box "Do not use in firearms with ported barrels or ported recoil compensators." This is the first time ive seen any ammo labled like this. Since Walmart has a no return policy on ammo and firearms Im stuck with this ammo. My question is why cant I use this ammo in my 23c? I just dont see anything unusual about this 180gr, FMJ FN.

This is a copy of an email someone from Glock Pro got from Federal. Kinda figured.

Greetings,

The Champion loads have a thin copper wash on the bullet that may
possibly come apart in your firearm exiting through the ports and is the
reason for such warning on the packaging. Both boxes you posses contain
this same bullet design.
