Sometimes it isn't good when it's new. I have discovered at least one cartridge with a very odd dent in the side from a box of brand new store bought ammunition.

I have seen a lot of old (WWII) ammunition with corrosion around the primers and on other spots on the casing as well but while I wouldn't expect those to be 100%, most will fire.
