Ahh..KK, I guess can't be too careful. I'm not a reloader{Yet}, but I have seen some & helped a bit, this reminded me of those. Kinda rough looking..lol.. even the foto doesnt do them justice, some of the dings are very noticeable :P with 2 or 3 of them per on some of them!
Mine also look like rejected ammo.
But it was advertised as milspec ammo.
Also the ammo box pictured looked like military steel boxes but we received disposable plastic boxes. When it's not what it looks like I believe it should be specified.
Still not a bad deal but I'm surprised SFRC didn't describe properly this product.

Its not something the dealer can describe. It all depends on the lot. I've had many 193s 855s and some are good some are bad. By bad I mean like small dents and stuff like that. Nothing changes. All the specs are perfect except their not pretty looking for their military contract so they throw them in a reject box to be repackage and renamed to XM and sold to civis , don't stress out over it and shoot away
They are the same plastic cans as in the picture and they aren't disposable, you can reuse them. It is XM855 ammo right off the military lines.
You didn't lie but you could have provided more details to avoid misunderstanding and disappointment. I would have buy some anyway but the customer I am would feel better about it.
Thank you anyway.

Wildphil I have to take sfrc side here, their ad does say PLASTIC CAN
Those are perfectly safe to shoot. The only time you really have to reconsider is if you find some that had a sharp crease in them. If you slide your thumbnail across the dent/crease and it catches at the bottom maybe put it aside. As for the "discolouration" it's called annealing. It's the way that they relieve the stress on the brass after working it. Annealed brass is actually better as it's less prone to splitting. The seating depth differences will cause variations in chamber pressures which in turn will give you a wider range of velocities. It's not a real concern for most plinkers as long as the crimp is still in the cannalure.
I've bought several cans of this stuff and it always works as advertised. Happy shooting.
THANKS FROSTY!! .. Your answer explained it well! .. Don't melt now..I hear it getz hot down there!
