Discoloration on new Lapua cases heads

LRNEWB

Hey I got a box of Lapua. 308 cases yesterday and 11 of them have some discoloration on head. A few have discoloration all the way down from the mouth of the case to the head. Has anyone come across this before. I'm planning on calling Lapua about it. I have pictures but do not know how to upload them here yet lol.
 
There was some chemical in the air or in the box that fogged the brass. I have found this a number of times on brass and ammo that is several years old. Lapua probably needs to treat their brass with benzotriazole to prevent that.
 
Well drove the hour back to Cabelas and they exchanged them for me. Well see how they look when I get home.
