I bought a box of core lok’t in .243 for my sons gun. The box was factory sealed. While at the range I noticed that with the 20 rounds in this box there were 2 different primer types and the bullets were seated ar different depths. Was this a fluke or have I not paid enough attention in the past and this is normal? I assume its not. I can only assume this affects accuracy if they are not consistant.

I would say NOT NORMAL! Consistency is everything. I would contact the manufacturer and request it be replaced
Agree with Randy. Not normal. Could be a defect of somehow the rounds from different types got mixed together.
Return to the store or contact the manufacturer.

It shouldn’t be normal but ever scence the big panic by up by hoarders in my opinion there have been a lot more bad factory loads out there. Especially rimfire! I assume it’s because there were trying to pump out as much as possible to supply the demand.
After reading this I had a box of Remington Core-lock 100 grain .243 so I checked the COL and most were 2.678-2.681 I did find one that was 2.637 and the longest was 2.684. For deer hunting I don`t believe any of these would make a difference as far as kill zone on a Whitetail. IMO
