I believe you mean seconds not re-manufactured seconds. That would imply reloads that didn't make the grade. I don't think at that point I'd want them.
The seconds on the other hand are GTG. They are first run ammo that BH themselves rejected for cosmetic issues. |

OK, We load both Factory New and Remanufactured ammunition in .223 Remington caliber.
Since we load .223 both ways we also end up with seconds in both. Factory seconds receive that designation due to the brass having small dents, scratches, discoloration or some other small defect on the brass or the inspector just thinks they don't look pretty enough. There is nothing wrong with the actual load itself and there's no reason they shouldn't shoot exactly like the first line ammo run they were pulled from. Every round that is seconded is put into a gauge to ensure that the dent/scratch or whatever doesn't cause any feeding or chambering issues. No, there's not a big mark down on them. The best thing about the seconds is that sometimes they're available when the first line ammo isn't. Carl |

Rob First Stop Gun Shop sells the BHWB, or at least they did when I lived there a few years ago |

As KBAD wrote, First Stop sells and ships our entire line. Their number is 605-341-5211, ask for Mike or Les.
Take Care, Carl |

I just always thought of re-manufactured/reloads as seconds to begin with. |
