These are seconds because the headstamp is wrong. They are marked +P+ when they are not

Can I trust them?

These were reclassified as a "2nd" due to incorrect headstamp. These are +P but are marked +P+ on the headstamp. Keep in mind these are bonded bullets and while they are better performers in terms of ballistics, they are not as "pretty" and will not have a shiny luster like traditional hollow points.

I'd run em if I had em. If I run across any of em I will buy some myself.

I don't know about these specific rounds.
But generally speaking I come across so called factory seconds,
like the 40 Ranger Bonded Z ammo, that's just too cheap to pass up.

My thinking is it's great high quality clean accurate target ammo.
And in a pinch (i.e. ammo shortage) the HPs can double as SD rounds.

I need 10k of the first run of this ammo just to fill back orders. I did not buy any of this for inventory because the wholesale price was to high for factory seconds..
