I just received and order of bullets. The box is new but the seals had been already opened. I usually like to have my boxes sealed and am wondering if I should return these. comments? |

You could ask the company if they will pay for shipping back to them, and then supply you with new.
Personally, I don't see the point. If the box is new and undamaged, then I doubt someone is skimming a couple bullets off the top. It's not like they can really tamper with bullets. I would just load and shoot, but it is your money. |

Makes me wonder what the caliber and wieght they are. Some of the crap from russia looks like US. Some of the US 2nd's look as 1st's. |

I'd count the bullets and make sure they're all accounted for. If they're all there and are the same, you're gtg. Agree with this one. Grab a handful of them and throw them on the scale. As long as they are what you ordered, Bullet type and grain, Then whats the problem?

I would count, visually inspect, and measure the diameter of each one. I would weigh them too but not one at a time. Groups of 5 or 10, 10 is easy with .223 caliber bullets.
I have bought a box or 2 from WalMart that was open. I have no shame when it comes to bullets. I counted them right at the sporting goods counter.

Seriously though i would count them and IF any are missing, call who ya bought them from.

I used to work a gun counter back in my college years.
Customers would often want to look at the contents of a box of cartridges, yeah ok, but I was quite careful to keep them from mixing two if they were comparing different ones. I would be suspect if someone took a look inside. As such I would be overly cautious and look at each and every one with suspicion. Caliber, weight, style. I would hate to see you work up a load for a 150 grain bullet at max and someone slipped a 175 in there. Just my feelings. |

That is usually the case because a whole lot is deemed as seconds because of various reasons one of which can be off color. Vince Quoted:

I personally think component manufacturers need to think about safety seals on powder/primers/etc. As reloaders we go to great lengths to ensure our safety, and the manufacturers seem to do it to with manuals, instructions, phone support, etc but for some reason components seem to be ignored. |
