[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1255089, member: 12282"] Don't know if this is the place to post this, but I had a nice scare this AM while loading some .284 175gr ELD-X bullets. Manufacture date was 1/16/16, IIRC. I have a Forster press, so usually seating bullets is almost effortless. One bullet seemed to seat harder than usual -- and when I look again, I can see that the diameter is different with the naked eye. Turns out there was a .308 bullet in the box. It had seated with the Forster press pretty easily. Wow. Had I been paying less attention, I would have potentially blew my gun up this afternoon. So I called Hornady. They took down the information, and offered to send me a replacement bullet!! I told them I was more worried about what the heck was wrong with their quality control process, how a wrong size bullet could have gotten mixed in. The lady was apologetic, but acted like this was not the first time. Said bullets get "caught in the packing machinery from time to time". This really scares me....... Maybe deserves its own thread.... Dunno... [/QUOTE]
