Dud products, huge lawsuits, alienation of previously existing customer base due to a continued parade of dud products, *notoriously* poor customer service, support of policies that are in direct opposition to your industry and some very poor management decisions can kill a company fast.

I’m guessing you may not know just how bad they’ve gotten. Here’s a quote directly from a friend of mine when I mentioned this a couple days ago (rumors had gotten out and were posted here on FR).

“Remington has needed this for a long time, they haven’t been relevant for quite a while. I was recently reloading with some of their 5.56 projectiles and was having a bitch of a time getting my OAL right. I finally put the calipers on the bare projectiles, not only was there a ton of variation in the size of the projectile, but the crimp band on the copper was incredibly inconsistent. Just lining up the projectiles you could see the size and stamping variations from one to the next - and all came out of the same package.”

That is how bad they have gotten. Sure you want to try to load those in your ML?

I used to be huge fan of the 180 gr bronze points until be and buddy went halves on several hundred. They varied so much in weight than we had to weigh them all and sort them in groups of 20-30 to get anything close to consistent results. That was 25-30 years ago, since then I switched to factory loads for deer. Federal Premium Nosler Accubonds have proved up to the task.
