Were those heads still capable to taking game - yes, some customers have done just that.

Were they up to our standards - not even close. When we get the issue resolved without a doubt we'll have the 100 grains back up for sale.

My own personal experience in manufacturing has taught me the same tough lesson about out-sourcing heat treat of components. You can have otherwise good components ruined by the wrong heat treat process.
