Cheap .270 ammo

[twentyeightguagepreferred]

Hey all, just picked up this lower budget .270 win. ammo, and the brass doesn't seem right, as in new and shiny. Is this normal?
Thanks.

Cheep usually means edges were trimmed. (Corners were cut) to save time and money.
Looks fine to me

I usually buy the rem corelok or Hornady at twice the price.

Silver boxes are older stock. Brass has tarnished from age and maybe some high humidity. Shouldn’t be any issues.

I've never found the Winchester foam inserts to be that good at protecting the soft point tips, either. It degrades over time, and the rounds end up rattling around. OP, as others mentioned, that's just normal tarnish from the age of that ammo. It'll shoot fine, but if you care, you can give it a quick wipe down with a polishing rag, but I'd avoid getting anything on the primers.

Even new Winchester brass usually looks like sh*t

Sometimes cheap and excellent don't fit in the same sentence

You'll be fine with that. I will work fine.

You should see Remington's UMC line. It looks like it's been stored in the bottom of a freighter!

It still goes bang.

Their bulk .223 looks worse. It always works.
