These Round Ok to shoot?

[tacticalpanda]

I picked up some FGMM today in .308. It was in the old box but price was good. Got home and opened them up and some of the brass looks pretty rough. There are grey patches all over them that feel a bit rough to the touch. All of the rounds have them some are worse than other. Wanted to know if they are OK to shoot/reload after. Do they just need some polishing? Or should I go back to the store and return them?

Pics are OK but they look worse in person than in the pic.

case guage them, if ok then tumble if looks bother you, they will look like new

rub them with some steel wool

Yes.

If they go into the chamber ok, then don't worry about them...

Or you could buff them with your junk to make them look better and piss off Marsha...

I am more concerned with that stripped screw in the pic then the dirty brass!

Not stripped. They are wood screws that came with some special bit to use with them.


Will throw them in the tumbler and see how they look. They do chamber fine and gauge fine as well.

If they were mine I'd be throwing them in the rifle and SENDING them downrange. Looks pretty mild to me.

WTF is with people cleaning shit before it goes bang? Is it a fashion statement of brass?

Correct me if I'm wrong, not a reloader, but I thought tumbling loaded rounds was a no-no. Potential to break up the structure of the powder and change burn rate???

Myth.

The screw is a combo drive... phillips/square drive. Ammo doesn't need to look pretty to function.

Only time I polished brass was for the collection under my monitor.

I have reconsidered. You should not shoot those rounds. PM me your address and I will pick it up and ensure it is properly disposed of.
