I'm gonna take a gander that about 1/2 the posters to this will say cost, 1/2 will say quality control.
I am an avid quail hunter, hence the name, and every year I would buy two cases of Winchester 1 oz. # 7 1/2 20 gauge shells. Well the last year I di that they were junk, I took dad's 1100, gave it a good proper cleaning, fired 10 of those shells and got 8 different results. I used this gun as sometimes it can be finicky for cycling shells. Some of them would cycle clean, some only blew the bolt back 1/2 way, one I swear I watched the shot roll out the barrel.......
A Mec 600 later turned into another one for a 12 gauge, turned into a Lee Classic loader, turned into a Lee Classic Turret, scale, powder measure........ ended up killing time in the delivery room for our first born child reading about Berger bullets.........
I'm ate up with it now, sometimes I think I want to buy those dies just so I can get a rifle to load for em, or vice versa... Actually once passed up a rifle simply because I didn't want to mess with loading for another one at the time.
