....that 95% of the customers who pick up a box of ammo feel compelled to open the box and fondle the rounds?

I am fairly certain that the ammo will look just like it did the last time they bought a box!!  


ok, I feel better now.

I want to make sure it isn't a mislabeled box of crickets

Because I've bought HP's from a gun shop before, got them home and they were FMJ's.

I'll be damned if I'm going to pay 24 dollars for 50 rounds of ball.


I don't finger fuck more than 1 though,  and I wipe it off if I'm not going to buy them.

I always check to make sure the box is full, and that there aren't any obviously incorrect or defective rounds.  It's a lot easier to handle those problems up front rather than having to make another trip.

I do the same with things like automotive oil filters.

Come on now.  Honestly tell me the last time you purchased a box of factory ammo and saw a "crap" round in one.  Maybe once in your life?  Granted, you might get a squib round, but not some mangled case/bullet.  I will also add, if you are buying the box, then fine, open it.  But this was more directed at the guy that comes up to the counter, asks to see 5 different boxes of ammo, opens them all, and then doesn't by any.  

I can guarantee I have picked up more rounds off the store floor and taped up more boxes because "Brutus the bullet inspector" had to examine the ammo, than you have ever found "crap" rounds.

Does it have anything to with being in Kentucky?

because ammunition is not returnable

if you find something wrong when you get home, the store wont take it back


plus, I have opened a new box of ammo to find that somebody switched the ammo, and put some home made reloads inside or sometimes some ammo is missing, need to check to make sure it's a ful box.

Yeah Roo, I thought that might be it.  Now, from the responses in this thread, I don't think that is the answer.

I have opened boxes of 7.62x39 at Meijer(like Wal-mart) and found missing ammo.

I don't doubt it.  That is because the last guy to open the stinking box, put the rounds in his pocket.
