I purchased twenty-one 100 case bags of new blem Silver State Armory 7.62x51 cases. The price was $431.95 delivered which works out to $0.2057 per case. Here's what I received:



The cases look perfectly new and don't even have spots or discoloration. I weighed some cases and and they averaged about 178gr. For reference, some IMI cases that I have averaged about 183gr and some Remington cases averaged about 170gr. I measured the width of the primer pockets and they're spot on with the IMI cases. I then used my Hornady headspace comparator and found that the headspace of the cases measure about 0.005" or so greater than the IMI cases. I always full length resize my new cases anyway, so any cases that are "excessive" will get fixed anyway. I'm guessing that there are some people that don't full length resize new cases? Perhaps they only neck size the new cases. All this to say that I don't really see what the "blem" is here. Am I missing something else?
