Picked up 3 100 round units from sgammo.
Each unit of 100 is 5 boxes, plastic wrapped. All from the same lot and with one box open, other 4 with intact seal.
2 lots dated December, one October in my order. All rounds externally clean in the open boxes.
Pulled 2 rounds from each open box.
October and Dec #1 have ball powder. Powder flows freely, some internal staining on brass but not enough to make me scrap the case. About 44 grains.
Dec. #2 has stick powder, about 39 grains. Kitchen clean on the inside.
I'll give all of these lots a chance to go bang once the weather turns. The bullets are definitely good but the crimp is heavy so preferably they can shoot from the cases they are already in.
