Hornady not the company they used to be....

When the balance of issues between people and quality controls start to cause enough issues, what eventually happens is people are replaced by technology and loose their jobs.

For example, on critical ammo lines there are often "machine vision" systems that can inspect every one of those flash holes faster than the lines can make them.

The cameras and processors are not cheap, but they don't go on vacation or let things slip because they were talking on their cell phones when they are supposed to be working.....
 
I have followed this whole topic. The only thing that bothers me is the the bad Critical Duty ammo. All my guns are loaded with it. At least it won't tie the gun up. Eject and hope the next one goes bang.

Very true! Towards the end of my working days, vision systems were being extensively deployed to perform inspections of safety critical part features. Several years ago, they were capable of measuring features to 0.001” resolution. No doubt they’ve since advanced!
 
Every brass manufacturer has foul ups.
Give me a break from all this queen drama!
Anyone who has run their own business can testify to all companies having quality control issues. Hell my surgeon missed a 5" × 8" × 10" pancreatic seudo sist in me.

Hornady sucks. Said they would send out replacement immediately. Called today and they told me they do not have .243 Win. brass so I will have to wait until they have some for me. WTF I'm done with that company.

Ugh, that's bad luck. Sorry to hear it.
In case it helps, here is a quick search from Shootingbot for 243 brass.

Expect them to deliver when they don’t have any? Lol they said they would replace it when they do. What more you want? Well at least it gives you more reason to talk bad about them on the internet. Lol

If they did not have it in stock then they could have offered to refund his money so he could go purchase it elsewhere. This has nothing do with their quality but speaks more about their customer service, or lack of it.

Did he buy it from them? If so they could have. If not then he needs to go to where he bought it to get a refund.
 
^^^^^^^^ Certainly agree with this. With practically everything we purchase we never go back to the company but back to where we purchased the item. Only when there is no results do we go to the manufacturing company. At least this is how I see it.
