Default 22lr question

I have a bulk box of Federal 525 Champion 22lr ammo. In handling some today, I found I was able to hold the brass end in one hand and the bullet in the other and was able to easily turn the bullet inside the brass,( not separating the two). This seem to be true of 10% or more . How problematic is the , or not.?
Thanks for any input.

Maybe not that high a percentage, but I've been noticing that on .22 ammo for better than 50 years. Never been a problem.

That is good ammo, I found the lead bullets to be very accurate. I can't remember having a misfire with that ammo either.

I have a different take on this, I think quality control has gone south since the 22 shortage. While I have seen it before, it was by no means common back in the day. There's no danger, but you'll have to see if it functions in your firearms.

My friends and I have had problems with all brands of .22 ammo, except CCI.

I didnt know anyone bought .22lr now days. I thought we were still shooting off our Hoarding supply from 10 years ago.

I put a few boxes of these through a buddies AM180 a few days ago. They still shoot just as good as they always have.
