I went down to my LGS today and purchased a box of Winchester PDX1 .45 230 gr jhp to carry in my new Hk USP .45 compact.
When I opened the box and inspected the rounds, I found that several of them had deep gouges/dents in the brass where the bullet seats. Also, several of the bullets had dents/gouges in them as well.
I took several pics and contacted Winchester customer service about the issue. I have been seeing this more and more with ammo that I have been purchasing. It seems as they try to keep up with demand, QC has dropped. I just find this unacceptable with ammunition that I may have to use to defend myself with one day.
Here are some pics-
