Yeah yeah, maybe I'm just nitpicking and bitching about ammo defects, as this is my second thread. However, I figured that Hornady would not have let things like this slip through, especially since I'm paying $1+ per round for it.
Anyway, should I be concerned with these defects in the bullets themselves?
My photography skills suck, but hopefully you're able to see what I'm talking about. One of the bullets had a slight gouge in it, more substantial than a regular scratch. The bullet on the right has a circular deformation in it, and the bullet is rough inside the circle.
Is this something I should worry about? I realize it won't affect the function of the rifle, but would something like that do anything to the interior of my barrel?
I guess my options are
a) email Hornady
b) toss out the rounds (and try to forget they cost $1 per)
c) STFU, load them in a mag and shoot the fuckers.
What say you?
