I've seen more of these boxes of bullets lately, coming from sellers that include a few up to all bullets being PULLED BULLETS.
The adds DO NOT INDICATE pulled bullets. I would not knowingly buy pulled bullets, so it p^sses me off when I find these in a box of bullets. There should be a place like here where the results can be discussed, indicating who the seller is. Who would go the the expense of reloading these bullets, not me.
 
^ It's easy to tell pulled bullets if they were crimped like most factory ammo is. Collet pullers will leave marks on the pulled bullet too. Inertial pullers will not mark or damage the bullet at all, but if there was a heavy crimp the ring will remain.

Did you at least give the seller a chance to make good on the deal?

If it were me I would have told the seller that they were not as advertised and demand my money back plus any and all shipping costs.

Usually these will be encountered in a private sale, such as you might find on the EE, or the Access, where an individual has tried a certain bullet, then decided it wasn't what he wanted. If pulled bullets are to be sold, or even if part of a box was pulled, that information should be front and center in the add, and the price should represent that fact. It might also be prudent to know how the bullet was pulled prior to purchasing them. A kinetic puller will leave no mark on the bullet other than a scuff from where the bullet shank was held in the neck of the case, but more aggressive pulling techniques can deform the bullets, or leave significant marks on them. When I made Mexican Match from military .308 and .30/06 I had quite a few FMJs. I pulled those bullets without much care, so some were badly scored, others were heavily caked with sealant, and when I disposed of them, I pretty much gave them away to whoever might have wanted them. A point to note though is that as long as the heal of the bullet is not deformed or otherwise damaged, and as long as the external dimensions remain true, the bullet is probably still capable of reasonable accuracy even though it's badly scored.
 
I have used military pulled bullets for years at the range with no issues what so ever. There are different ways of pulling bullets, so apparently leave marks some don't, mine where very clean .
 
Just ask for some of your money back and be nice. Pulled bullets work fine and maybe a private conversation between the buyer and seller would be more appropriate then a public forum.

As long as they were not squashed, I'd not lose sleep over it. Most times they just get a few scratches.

I shoot my own pulled bullets all the time w/o any problems. I don't complain to me. :p
