With as serious problem this could be for members of our forum multiple threads may not be a bad idea especially since I didn't pay any attention to the OP because of it's generic title. Seeing a post saying "Federal.45 ACP" ammo on another forum got my attention fast! If only one gun is not damaged or one member not hurt by having multiple posts on this issue then they are worth it.

No need for mutiple threads since they are all in this section. Just discuss in the first one that that will keep it at the top of the unread lists.
