The cartridges in the photo I posted came out of plain cardboard box with no lid that also contained a mix of .38 Spl, 9mm, .380 Auto - some of it factory some reloads. They were not in their factory box so I've got no way to report a Lot number, etc. I did find a partial factory box of Winchester 357 Magnum 125 Gr. JHP (X3576P). These are in perfect-looking condition. The owner had a date on the box of 4-16-85. This factory box had been stored within 2 feet of the 357 cartridges in the photo.

I've returned ammo and brass to Winchester before and never got an explanation from them as to what was wrong with the product. In the first instance I got a coupon for a free box of 50 .22 LR cartridges. In the other case I got a bag of 50 replacement brass cases for the 150 defective cases I sent in.
