...with a BC of 0.01?

Yeah and I doubt it was a 195 it was probly about a 23.

Makes you really think about their "quality control". So does that mean that when you purchase from companies like federal and buy match primers, they actually just look at them?

I mean have you ever seen a video of an ammo machine running?

I looks like the brass falling from a mini gun. I can’t believe 50% of the rounds aren’t junk.
I’m really impressed it can make ammo as good as it does.

I would spray wd-40 in the primer to kill it. Pull the bullet and dump the powder. Run through a decapper. Alternately, I feel sure Hornady will replace it.

Haha scare-dy cat. Pull that bullet and powder, SLOWLY de-cap, flip it over and reseat it. Powder back in, reseat the bullet. Good as new.
Kids these days just toss good material and buy new stuff.

OP- in all honesty, I’ve never seen a factory ammo box look like that…and I have cases of Hornady ammo.

Embarrassingly, I loaded a 7mm Rem Mag round with the primer installed backwards about 2 months ago. I didn't even notice it when loading it into the chamber (single loading without magazine). It simply ended up as a failure to fire, thankfully.

I'd pull that bullet, empty the powder, gently extract the primer, and then start over.

I did one this past week. It turned over on the priming tool some way and I seated it backwards. Caught it before I charged the case. Had seen a suggestion in this thread to douse it in oil to kill it. Did that and very nervously deprimed it with the press. Luckily it wasn't as exciting as I thought it may be.
Moving some hornady 223s this evening and found this guy. This is factory stuff so it's on somebody in Nebraska. Not me.

Likely. The “match” or “precision” components or arrows or what have you are typically the same production runs, just they have been sorted/measured/weighed to tighter tolerances. Not premium components compared to a standard version, just an extra level of qc.
