WTH ?! Winchester .40

[The Extractor]

I bought a 100 rd box at wal mart yesterday and the primers pockets look like they have sand/dirt/crud in them some are blackened as well. I am going to e mail winchester. this is bs.
I will get pics shortly.

INSPECT YOUR AMMO at the store if possible.

Just checked and the 100 rd box of 45 is fine as well as the 44 mag and 270.... weird.

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

possibly as the box is not glue sealed like the .45.... but the rest of the rd looks like new mfg stuff like I have bought before... it also doesnt brush off either...

It's probably that DNA trace substance the Gun Czar was talking about.

Actually you may be right....

That is strange though, I've bought several WWB 100 round packs of .40 from Wally World and never seen anything like this. I will keep my eye out for similar incidents and report. Let us know what they say!

I would send those pics to winchester and ask what it is! Very curious, keep us informed!

I have seen that before, I believe it is from a dirty primer pocket forming die.
