well fellas, gotta add my .02 worth, I work in a production factory, where we manufacture millions of "pieces" a year, I can tell you having a close working relationship with the Quality Control aspect of high speed manufacturing, that ALL companies have a measured defect "aceptable margin" its called parts per million defect or ppm for short. Now Im no Remington ammunition fan by any means (in fact I will never shoot them in any gun I own) BUT, in their/and other companies defense, when you roll out millions of pieces per year, and your process has a human factor in it, they know there will be bad pieces/lots. Its something they expect, and would drive the costs up to an outragous amount if every primer,casing,bullet and loaded cartridge were inspected, and even then it would be done by humans! Just trying to add a different perspective on the subject.
