No, sir. In retrospect, I should've noted that. No telling how long that ammo was around @Cabela's; it wasn't a shopworn box, but that's not a high-demand caliber, either. I can say it has to have had some age on it, since the current Remington Premier PL ammo has a mini DVD in the box.
My deal was over a period of ~early September to latter October. I bought the ammo after Labor Day and didn't get to shoot until next weekend. The failures prompted asking for advice on another forum, subsequent re-barreling, another test shoot and another Q&A. Ammo was sent back about three weeks ago and got the replacement late last week.
