This may be a stupid newbie question, but I've searched here and on google and haven't really found much.
I just received a box of goodies from Natchez which included several boxes of CCI Blazer 115g 9mm jhp. In one of the boxes, there's a fair bit of fine white powder on each round. It's mostly on the copper jacket, but some is packed in pretty well against the casing and it's not clear if the source is external or internal to the cartridge.
The cartridge holder is made of white plastic, so I suppose it could be that in shipping the edge of the casings has rubbed the plastic to a fine powder in each of the wells. But none of the other boxes are so affected. And there's quite a bit of it.
I've used several boxes of Fiocchi and Lawman ammo before and never seen anything similar. This is the first time I've purchased Blazer.
Any ideas?
