That's a pretty high failure rate for any factory ammo. I'm sure the mfr would be interested to hear about it, would probably make good on it, and would like to know the lot number.
Not necessarily so for Remington (UMC). I bought a thousand rounds about 8 years ago because it was cheap and I needed some new brass. The math worked in favor when considering the cost of new brass separately. The ammo itself was pure "excrement". Lousy accuracy, smoky, soot and carbon all over the inside of the weapon, and yup, a bunch of misfires and "squibby" loads. Yes, one could make the argument that the bullet left the barrel but unless you're being attacked by gophers I seriously doubt that anyone likes the round dropping at their feet.
Based on the number of complaints aired on the various forums I'm sure that the factory is well aware. The real question is "do they care". Apparently they are selling all they make to someone so why should they?
