I've been trending in the direction that brass sold by some of these manufacturers are their quality rejects from the production line for complete factory ammo.

Sorry - so, the seller asked me how many shells looked dodgy.
I went through and said I wouldn’t even attempt to use 14 - he then replied and said he had to look through 4 packets of brass to find 20 that he would consider as suitable to send me as replacements - which he is doing express post.
So great customer service but s**ty ass brass.

Nice outcome, not the resellers fault and they did their bit to resolve the issue.
