Hello everyone, recently I've purchased a case lot of supposed Factory New Old Stock of 45 Win Mag ammo. A lot of it is Winchester Super X, the classic silver boxes, but I've noticed something awfully perplexing concerning the ammo. Firstly some boxes have cardboard ammo holders, whereas others have styrofoam inserts, the hard fine grained ones. The second difference is the primers, some have the brass colored primers whereas some have silver with a red ink around them. The third is the casings, some are smooth and some have a detailed belting line.
Immediately I'm under suspicion that some of these are reloads, although I'm wondering if it might be a difference in production batches. I'm not wanting to blow up my LAR Grizzly due to someone else's potential negligence .
Thank you in advance for any knowledge and insight, I appreciate it.
