Ammo arrived wet, green. What to do?

'Choot em!

When you shoot someone else's reloads, (especially this clown's) you are risking damage to your hands, eyes and your gun. When something bad happens, you'll probably never find this guy.

I totally agree, contact your charge card company and get your money back right away. There is no excuse for ignoring a customer's communications.

I thought it was a rule to never shoot someone else's reloads. Life is too short

True, but the OP was under the impression that the ammo was produced by Freedom Munitions, (and was advertised as such) and is/was unaware how the ammo is really manufactured. As I read the first post, the OP speculated the ammo was "home made", but sold as a viable commercial reloader/manufacturer...

If the guy is not a certified ammunitions manufacturer it is illegal for him to sell ammo, much less across state lines. Let Freedom Munitions know he is pretending to be him, and I'd call the ATF.

When I got a bad batch of bullets from xTreme, I had a replacement box in a few weeks, just just wanted a picture.

I'd pull the bullets, save the boolits, brass, and use the gunpowder for fertilizer.

Before you shoot ANY of that ammunition, ask the seller for a copy of his FLL and a copy of his GL policy.

Only ONE of those rounds has to be a double charge for you to have a really bad day.

Have you shot any from the first delivery?
Did they all go bang? If I had any issue at all, I'd not shoot any of these.
Did it look like the box was wet during shipment or was it wet before it shipped. Were rounds in bag an inside bag was wet and box OK? Smell? If you think it was FedEx, go make claim on them.... If you have any questions about possible sabatoge, I'd call my cc company and file claim. Don't wait, do it today..... And I'd let freedom munitions know about this guy

Totally unacceptable conduct for any business. I would be calling the ATF to ensure he has the appropriate FFL for starters. Type 6 I believe.

A tumbler with walnut will clean that up - but you need to ask yourself if you trust it.

I ordered some really cheap 9mm reloads from what I thought was Freedom Munitions, but was actually a copy cat website (appears some guy is running this operation from his garage).

Seems sort of difficult to confuse the Freedom Munitions website or any of their subwebs? Care to share the "copy cat website" actual address so others do not make the same mistake?

Any reason to believe this is in fact just some gun making ammunition in his garage?

The picture posted really does not look that bad and before blaming the shipper or mentioning a suspicion the wet ammo was intentional I would be, as mentioned, looking hard at the carrier.

Even if it got wet in shipment it is the sellers responsibility to make a claim with Fedex, not you. They hired the shipper and they have to make the claim. As stated before call your credit card company and have them issue you a refund.

Lot's of good suggestions,, so let's call this one done.
