WTH ?! Winchester .40

someone at the store may be replacing with cheap reloads, call the store as well

I don't think so, they were very anal when They sold me the wrong ammo and I did not relize it till I almost walked out the door, I went to the return counter and they were saying I could not return it, I told them I have not left the store yet look at the store cameras, they did and I got a refund

A while back The Firing Line got a bunch of American Eagle .50BMG rounds off their delivery truck...at least 1 box, all the rounds were scuffed and scratched and had extractor marks on the casings...

The highly doubt the ammo pictured are reloads. That appears to be some factory disfunction going on there. You can't get completely rid of striation marks on the head of the case if once shot, and there would definately be some sort of extractor call marks on the rim area.

This is another thread that I've misssed for the first couple of days...

Those rounds look horrible. I agree that this looks like a manufacturing issue but I can't imagine how in the heck Winchester could have let ammo like that past their quality inspectors.

Honestly, I would just go shoot it. Check the spent cases after the first one or two and if the primers are sealing and no overpressure, all is good. It appears to be more cosmetic than anything.

to bring this back from the dead. They sent me $40 in coupons for ammo. Said there was nothing wrong with the ammo.
