Monmouth and one fired brass
Partially from the comments on this thread and the website reviews, I ordered 3000 once fired 9mm brass cases. The order came through very quick and the cost was better than other places I have used. I put it all through the tumbler to clean it up and then started the inspection process of each case, like I do after cleaning every time. The first impression is that the brass was dirtier than any other source I have used for once fired, and it didn't look like it all came from an indoor range as they say on the site. There were some of the cases that were green inside and out from oxidation that should not have occurred from an indoor range. I have also had about a 1% discard rate with the wrong sized brass and damaged cases, not a big number but higher than what others have seen.
But I think the issue that concerns me the most is that I was given the opportunity to provide a review of the order and company. I completed that and gave them less than 5 stars and have not seen the review, although it was submitted over 3 weeks ago. Looking through the reviews on the site, I have not seen one less than 5 stars, and now that mine has not been posted it suggests they only post 5 stars and not all reviews. If that is accurate, I am concerned with their integrity and it appears to be misleading. For me, integrity is more important than price, especially when the price differences are not significant, and I won't be ordering from Monmouth in the future.
