    I’ve seen this before with Starline brass in the plastic bags. The machining marks on the rim are one thing, easy to get rid of, but the dents left right and centre were something else. But I think it’s simply a matter of the handling of the brass, almost certainly after it left the factory. It gets packed and freighted and unpacked and repacked and freighted again and unpacked and split up and freighted somewhere else and round and round it goes before eventually it ends up with you and me. The state of the plastic bags wasn’t exactly encouraging. Lapua of course comes in nice blue boxes.

    I found with some careful prep even the worst of the damaged cases ended up recoverable.

    Yip and note the norma brass was hung from the center threw a hole in the bags but had no norma of the cal I required and these were stuffed on a shelf in amongst lots of other sheeeet . And again to all its more of a wholy look at this rather than a name and shame
