Were these reloads? The brass in the pack I received sure look like they have been fired at least once, and two of the rounds have obvious flaws in the case........
Note the powder burns on the left case, the slash on the middle, and the dent on the third.View attachment 9530
Somewhat concerned at this point............
I bought a full sealed case and a few extra boxes of this stuff from a local retailer a week back - they are similarly dirty and many have minor dings/dents. Not a big deal in my mind. If you're worried about how it looks, I cleaned up one round just for the hell of it with a sprinkle of Comet on a damp paper towel...
