Technically when talking about people of USA, we refer them as "Americans", "American" is used for anyone from US or Canada, and Latin American is used for rest of the Continent. To address the whole continent as one thing, the term "New Continent" is often used.Over on FB, I belog to a WWII group that has international members (much like here) and during the course if a recent conversation, I was corrected by a few European members regarding the term "American".
They explained that a person from the United States should be called a "Statesian" because the use of "American" can be used for anyone from North America: Canada, U.S. or Mexico (which I thought was part of Central America, btw) and that a person from the U.S. referring to themselves as an "American" is arrogant and could be seen as offensive to others.
Is this for real??
All my ammo is still packed away in storage, so I can't check, but I seem to recall lot numbers sometimes stamped in the inner box (requiring one to remove all the rounds AND dividers) to see it.Winchester!!! Recalled a bunch of 9mm ammo with certain lot numbers having powder in them that does not ignite. Of course I bought a few boxes of it a couple months ago in anticipation of buying a 9mm pistol. And to top it all off the boxes I have do not have a lot number stamped on them at all so I'm up in the air.
Then finding there is also a recall on Winchester Super X .17HMR ammo that I bought having issues with no powder in them at all...... Have to check the lots # on those when I get home.
Oh yeah, and Herters brand, which is owned by Winchester, also having 9mm loads with bad powder as well. Don't remember if I have bought any of that recently.
-Herters brand? I thought Herters went Tango Uniform not too long after GCA 68 ended their mail order gun business. Their catalogs were a hoot and I still have some of their stuff in my reloading cache.Winchester!!! Recalled a bunch of 9mm ammo with certain lot numbers having powder in them that does not ignite.

What else would you expect? Politician's all have the middle name, "Flip Flop".The flip-flopping in the Corona policy. This has been the second time where they thought the pandemic was over an released all measurements, only to reinstate them a few weeks later, because the numbers in ICU are sky rocketing. Feels like they have no clue what they're doing.
