Do a 'google' search on the "Sparks Shot Tower" in Philly, Pa. It's a very interesting read and will answer any questions you may have had about these very old technology 'shot towers'.

Did and was cool and very interesting!
Possibly their QC, but many things can happen between point "A" until time of purchase somewhere else too.
Can be an outright amazing journey or route some items pass through when the human factor is involved. Sometimes, an item passes through multiple hands prior to purchase. Many companies use a distributor or two before final purchaser sees item on store shelves. It may not be the original mfg. QC, it may be the distributors or in some cases, even a shipper or an inspector somewhere along the line that messed things up somewhere? Manufacturers sometimes bear the brunt of others neglect or actions? It does and can happen to most anyone, has to me.

Years ago it's all I would see, and buy, on the shelves. But I haven't seen a box of any caliber yet.

I shot off one of my old stockpile boxes of Rem .308 a few weeks ago. It was dated 1996 I think. Might have 1 boxes left of some old Rem Accelerator .308s left. That is a 45 gr, I think, .308 where the little bullet is enclosed in a plastic breakaway shell after it exits the barrel. Never really did anything with them so I'll probably just shoot the off one day in the old bolt action.
In the meantime I'll keep my eyes open for some Big Green Boxes on the shelves.

Back when I shot a lot of .357magnum, I mostly shot there Remington 158grSJHP, great round and very accurate
I also used the Remington .357 158 Gr. SJHP back in the day. Bought it in a 50 round box. Last I bought was around $8.00 for 50 . Yes , it was a few years ago.
I was gripping the other day about being in sticker shock because I had bought a box of .357 mag. Reason , because it was the Remington .357 158 gr SJHP. Only it was in a box of 20 and it cost $40.00 with tax.
