350 Remington Brand Ammunition..Yikes
Was at the local gun store on Friday afternoon perusing thru factory ammo. Ran across a a few boxes of Remington Brand 350 mag ammo. I opened up a box and it looked like the ammo had been stored in a coal mine somewhere. The rim of the cases looked like they had been filed round 
with a bastard file they were so bad. I then went thru the rest of the boxes and they looked similiar and they had the same batch number. I wonder who was working the ammo making machine at that time. I couldn't even believe they were that bad and at 27.99 a box who would have thought that. I'm sure there is WWII ammo stored in a bunker somewhere that is way higher quality. What a shame..those yo-yos must have no quality control whatsoever to let that slip out.

Just because you found 2 or 3 boxes that were like that doesnt mean that ALL remington brass is bad. Out of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of remington cases Ive used, only 1 was bad.
Remington brass is just as good as winchester brass....PERIOD.

Some place around here i have a factory loaded Winchester round that didn't fire. When i pulled the round apart, there was NO flash hole in it!! I have a Federal round with the primer in sideways ect.. ect..
Everyone makes some junk from time to time..
