Sounds like my Hornady experience!

I'm in manufacturing and understand tolerances. BeeMan
I've been having fits with .22 RF in my Mark II as of late as well. LOTS of failures to fire. I pulled the heads, and most of the rounds had partial or missing priming.
I checked, and sho'nuff, they are Remington Golden Bullets.
Your experience reminds me of an incident I had with Hornady: I was loading ammo for the M1 Garand, and bought about 500 (5 boxes) of one type of bullet.
I couldn't believe my eyes! there were three different types of bullets in the packages! They were similar, but distinct. You could tell they had different shapes and ogives.
I called them up, and the idiot at the other end of the phone said that this is common, and it's OK... I couldn't believe my ears!
Needless to say, I used that crap for plinking and bought better bullets elsewhere.
Happy Shootin'! -Tom
