The four 500 round bricks of Eley Target .22 LR ammunition I order were de-bricked so the individual 50 round boxes would fit into as small a shipping box as possible. Also, the box did not have any padding in it to protect the ammunition packed inside from careless, albeit normal, handling in the shipping process. My shipment was obviously dropped at some point because there was exterior damage to the box and several of the plastic ammunition boxes in the cardboard box were damaged as a result. When I called Outdoor Limited on the phone I left a voicemail but I never got a call back. I did however get an email saying that their Shipping Manager was notified of my complaint and they were sorry. For all you precision shooters out there, you know that target grade and match grade ammunition is expensive specialty stuff because of the way it's manufactured, the components used in its manufacture, and the way it's packed and shipped to the seller. So given we're paying a premium for that specialized type of ammunition, we have very high expectations for its performance as each bullet comes out of the barrel. In the end though, that performance can be ruined by poor and inadequate packaging for shipment to individual customers when the packaging won't stand up to normal shipping hazards. So given there's a significant ammunition shortage I guess it's a seller's market and I'm just out of luck. But hey, most laymen thinks that if the ammunition goes bang when I pull the trigger it all good, right?
