The old line that "They just charge more for the name" is straight BS.
In remingtons case, it is not BS. Remingtons QC has been on the decline for some time now. Let's take an example from the centerfire world. Federal Powershok is the bottom of the barrel for federal ammo (money wise), yet the bullet construction is adequate and it is more consistant than remington ammo has ever dreamed of being. It's also cheaper than any ammo you'll get from remington.

I would trust fiocchi BEFORE I would remington, even if it is cheaper. Of course I know there will be some die hard remington advocates that will tar and feather me. That's fine. Fiocchi is good ammo, good enough that I'll trust it before remington. Maybe I should mention, though, that for the most part remington is decent ammo. It's just not head and shoulders above everyone else. It is paying more for the name in several cases. Though remington is not as bad as winchester (IMHO).
