My position is that my 14.5 ML BCM (aftermarket cut-down) has shot Wolf, PMC, UMC, S&B, Black Hills, Hornady practice, Hornady TAP, and Hornady T-2. I've had zero hiccups with weaker ammo and I am not sure what price I am paying with hotter loads. Appropriate grip and stance kept rifle on target with any of those loads, and if my rifle gets battered sooner - I am fine with that; again, individual preference.
BTW - unverified data so I take no responsiblity - but I am told that Wolf is loaded to SAAMI specs. Anybody knows differently?
I agree that all man maid will fail; I don't agree with defective products leaving the factory. I agree with you that higher price should mean better CS. However, I'd also want to have better QC. So if their high pricing in fact means higher level of QC and each rifle passes it, then perhaps I am not in touch with reality. Because, the way I see it, if QC is stringent and each piece of product passes it, how would lemons happen then? Unless there are no lemons and then the whole discussion is pointless.
No. 6, I am not sure I understand your post.
