Is this normal? (.40 S&W ammo)

[MisterPo]

Hey all,

I recently purchased some Federal Champion 180gr Ammo from Palmetto State Armory.

When I received the ammo, the brass and bullet seem to have dried moisture marks on it. I asked a friend about what he thought about them and he said that they probably weren't stored properly.

Are they okay to shoot or should I be worried?


Thanks!

Is it all the ammo or just a few. It looks like finger tarnish on the brass. Maybe they were picked up with dirty fingers for inspection?

[MisterPo]

It's all the ammo. I ordered 8 boxed and almost all the brass looks like that.

doesn't look too bad, I've had some factory rounds look similar. the integrity of the cases should be ok so you're GTG.

Okay, cool. Thanks.

I was kinda worried that it might've effected the ammo in any way.
