Bought some 100 grain boat tail Speer .243 bullets a while back. Upon inspection,they were found to have a lip around the top of the boat tail,and smeared points. The exposed lead tips were smeared down one side of the jacket. Not a huge deal,but these weren't blems. The tooling is obviously in need of some work. So,off to Speer they went. After sending them pics and the lot number. They did in fact send back 2 boxes. One to cover my return shipping. Of the SAME LOT NUMBER! With the same flaws. Well,if it isn't bad enough component prices have doubled the last few years,and availability can suck. Now we can expect blems at full price. Even in return for other blems. The first box of bullets I ever bought were Speer. 42 years ago. The last box of Speer I ever bought was 3 months ago. Se la vie.

C'est la vie, c'est la guerre. Sh*t happens, even to the best. Sorry it happened to you.

Doesn't that suck, when you get the response/help you ask for....and you get the same poor results or worse.
I thought that only happened to me

Yep. It's too bad. I hate to see another solid performer go down the tubes. There have been yellow boxes on my bench since the beginning. I guess I need to launch one more email for my own satisfaction.

On the other hand, it could be one dumb-ass in the shipping department who screwed up, not the whole company. Every company has a few. I'd go back to them and see what they do to make it right.

I sent an email and got a response . They wanted to know if they were in fact the same problem. I said they were in fact exactly the same. Waiting for a follow up.
