Trust this ammo or not?

I had some 2012 Double Tap 200gr and 230gr hardcast that had about 25% of the bullets with severe cold cast wrinkles. DT sent a box of Noslers JHP to replace them. I'm going on a trip next week to Northern Montana (Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness). I realized that the only hardcast 10mm that I have is from that old 2012 shipment. (the correct appearing rounds, not the defects) I am not sure that I can trust them. I have no reason not to, other than they were part of that buggered 2012 shipment. My other 10mm ammo is either Underwood 155gr gold dot, 200gr xtp or Remington UMC 180gr FMJ (cup and core construction). Any suggestions? My other option is  Glock 30 with Underwood hardcast in either .45+p or .45 Super. I no longer can hump the weight of my 500 S&W and a long gun is not going to be practical for me. Whatcha think?

They may not be quite as accurate but they will hit hard and likely stay together!  What gun will you shove them out of!  If a Glock factory barrel they may be less accurate than a cut rifled barrel.

I would shoot them.  Ugly boolits usually shoot fine for plinking.

I'd have no reservations using them.

Even an ugly bullet is better then none... just as long as they feed well
