RE: remington ammo = junk
That most certainly is a shame.[:@] I've had good luck at the target range with Remington factory ammo but have never hunted with anything other than reloads. I do plan to try out my reloaded .30-06, 165 grain CoreLokts on hogs next month. I am pretty careful at the reloading bench but after reading of your experience I am going to re-inspect my ammo, and probably cycle each hunting round through the action just to make sure it fits.
Hope you get another shot this season!
