Having worked at a John Deere factory while going to school, I witnessed a fellow cutting corners. It was something the fellow was doing aside from his normal duties. He was getting paid extra for the work on a number of pieces done per hour. The engineers came down to watch the fellow performing his work to see what the cause of a problem was. The guy was clever enough not to cut corners then or ever again. Bottom line, the companies will often pay extra for above normal performance, often measured by pieces per hour.
I can assume this fellow at Nosler was making more money by cutting corners.
Of course this is just an assumption.

Yes, I am familiar with that--partly because I have also been informed by other bullet companies that they've had the same problem. Dunno if that's applicable here or not.
Do know that if AccuBonds "blew up" Nosler wouldn't still be selling a bunch of them 20 years later.
