I received a shipment of Win 40 S&W 180 gr bonded h.p. ammo and today inspected it. At first glance primers appeared irregular. Their usual shape differed from normal appearance. They were very slightly out of round. Some had that slightly mashed look found in handloads when extra pressure was used to seat primers in a crimped primer pocket. The primer pockets themselves showed slight chamfering. My guess is that they were very slightly too small to start with or the primers were very slightly too large or the equipment tooling was worn. In a few instances some primers were discolored.
This ammo was advertised as contract overrun with a blurb stating that the receiving agency was not able to pay for it so thus it was returned. It arrived in Winchester marked boxes which were not white box generic. Neither was it yellow Ranger boxes. The boxes appeared to be commercial but did not exactly resemble those that I've seen. Cases were brass.
I believe the reputable distributor when he said that this stuff was contract over run. I do not believe that he was told the truth, and my opinion is that this is reject or cull ammunition. I paid $18-19 per box. The 50 rds that I fired shot ok. I don't know what conclusion to draw. Sorry--no pictures.
