Has anyone bought Hirtenberger 7.62x51 NATO from Tenda recently?

Would you guys trust corroded Hirt cases in your new, $2,500 gun...it has me wondering/worried.

Hard to find deals on "shooters grade" ammo...I don't want/need $35+ per 20 rounds of match grade/hifh end hunting rounds for range work ...and YES I plan to reload but I need to stack up the brass first lol

The primers are staked in 3 spots, so I'm guessing it's Berdan. I also checked a few boxes I had from the last order dated '79, and same thing. I don't reload anymore so I'm not removing the primer to check.

I have a crate dated 1979 that is Berdan primed... Thus 1977 must be Berdan as well. I also have some 1980 that is Boxer primed. I guess that the transition from Berdan to Boxer was in 1979/1980.
