This brass is manufactured on mil-spec production lines which require evidence of the annealing process be left on the brass near the neck of the casing often referred to as the iris. This is the darker residue that is visually noticeable around the case neck. Both commercial and mil-spec brass undergoes this same annealing process which make the brass stronger and less brittle. The annealing process essentially runs the brass through a series of flames which heat the brass having the effect of re-strengthening it in its final shape. Unlike commercial brass products, there is no need to make it appear pretty, so they forgo the secondary polishing. Military requirements on the other hand require that evidence of the annealing process remain on the brass.
This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases.
