Been after some 300wm brass but its fairly pricey here in Australia so I recently bought my first ever batch of Remington Core-Lokt ammo, mainly to get the brass, and I have read their ammo is meant to be pretty good.
To my surprise a lot of them looked pretty crap, out of the two boxes roughly 40% had dents and dings, and about 20% had projectiles that will turn inside the crimp and are not tight in the neck, one even freely pushed back into the case, a few sample pictures are attached.
I know they will fire form no worries but I still expected better, every other batch of (Non Rem) factory ammo I’ve bought has always been immaculate, even the lower end stuff. They may shoot fine but I’m pretty sure I won’t be a Remington customer again.
For the record these all come from factory sealed boxes which were in good condition and didn’t look like someone had played football with them.
So, is Remington ammo always this poorly presented or have I just got a dodgy batch?
Cheers!
