Bought a case of 9mm training ammo and a few boxes of Federal HST and Syntech.
All the boxes were damaged to some degree- even the bulk ammo in the inner box.
The federal HST specifically got pretty beat up - the inner plastic that holds the rounds is damaged in two boxes.
I havent inspected much of it yet but theres atleast 1 round of the federal that the bullet was pushed too far into the casing.
My question is would yall still trust the ammo? Especially the federal to be in my carry guns (excluding any that got pushed in, which may just be the one idk yet) or is their other ways it could be damaged that are less noticeable?
And is the rest of the bulk ammo probably safe to shoot? Most of that will be run through my scorpion which has the whole OOBD thing. Im no expert on that issue but I know spicy rounds can cause it. - idk if any damage it could have gotten would cause a bad shot or just not fire or what
Also Ive never bought anything less then a case online- is it normal that it was packed with no barrier? There was packing paper on the side but nothing between the ammo boxes and the big box which I imagine is where the damage comes from - getting crushed. Last picture shows how it was packaged - paper.
