Factory seconds ammo W/ visual defects

[Grizzly300]

Well, I know some may not like blemish ammo others will. I was in Adventure outdoors today and the had several calibers and a few different manufactures boxes of visual defects ammo. All boxes were buy one, get one free. I picked up several boxes of federal premium, 6.5 creedmoor gold medal 140 Berger hybrid targets and 130’s as well. Also saw this same one in the sierra match king if that floats your boat, I actually picked up a few boxes of the sierra match king in .223- 69 gr versions. The 6.5 was around $44 bucks a box so out the door was $22 a box after buy one get one. Thought this may help a few out. I attached a pic of the worst case ones I looked through. Most were tiny dings and some just brass or bullet discoloration.

I want to give a shout out for Remington ammo. Bought 500 rounds and dumping some into an ammo can for a class I noticed a couple of projectiles seated too deeply. Contacted Remington and they replaced the whole lot.

I got some of the fusions for my 7.08...they shot .75 out of the 30 year old 700. They are a good deal and shoot great...... wish I would have bought more that 2 boxes

The 140 burgers and 130’s shot 1/2 MOA and under this past weekend for me. No complaints at all. I had a couple of fliers to start with but it was a new gun and after a few rounds, it was money.

25 years ago I got a case of 1000 new commercial 9 mm loads with 124 grain Speer gold dot HP point bullets.

I got these rounds for $.26 per shot in case quantity. A very small amount higher than what 115 grain FMJ would have cost.

Why so cheap? Well, they were called "factory seconds" and came with a label saying "not for duty use." w
Well I've only got about 100 rounds of these left, so I shot 900 of them up already and I did not have a single misfire malfunction, squib load, underpowered load out of any of them .

Some of the "Blemishes" were just the packaging they came in, not necessarily the round. Ive shot worse looking ammo in the army.

I also think there is a major liability in selling defective ammo that could pose a danger to the user beyond cosmetic look.
