I got some stuff that looks as bad as yours from them not long ago. After a four month wait and having to pay shipping twice, plus ordering the ammo BEFORE they stated it was corroded, and 4 months later getting corroded ammo, I will not give SAMCO any more of my business.

HOWEVER, after polishing the ammo with some steel wool before I head to the range, it doesn't look too bad, and functions fine. The last time I went, I was getting 3-4" groups out of my 1900 Oberndorf, which is about what I get with commercial Prvi ammo. Good luck with SAMCO, you will need it.
