I'm a little picky about what I stock and usally stick with known higher quality ammo. For me, "plinker ammo" means "more affordable" when you can get it on a good deal (and stock up) but not the cheapest junk I can find as long as it's brass cased. Never remanufactured/reloads and stear clear of bottom basement brands.So what was the actual issue with the ammo aside from the color? You said in your OP that you were looking for "plinker" ammo (or at least implied that was gona be the use) but then said in your other post you associate brass jacket with crap "range" ammo..
My comment on the brass jacketted stuff, "crap range ammo", was geared toward stuff like blazer. Don't like it, don't buy it, won't stock it.
IMHO, training ammo should be good/reliable enough to be used as back up defense ammo vs. only good enough to make noise with but high risk if you are forced to rely on it.
HG represented their ammo as "premium" training ammo. I'm open to finding a diamond in the rough and giving a small start up a try. You never know, right? Their regular price points where in-line with more decent training/range ammo and with the deal they had going at the time it seemed a fair time to give it a try. Still wasn't in the same price range of the "cheap stuff", but reasonable enough for a test run.
Again, my gripe wasn't simply the color of the bullets. My issue is "not as advertised". If I'm buying copper jacketted ammo, I expect copper jacketted ammo. Otherwise it begs to ask, "what else might have been misrepresented?". FPS? Bullet weight?
