Bullet quality and variety certainly has improved over the years. I have pretty much settled into Hornady as their quality and performance seems to be very good and they do have a good range of products that seem to be available when I need more. I have used Sierras in a couple calibers with good results as well.
I can remember back once buying some Winchester silver tip bullets (one of my favorite factory hunting loads many years ago). I tried loading them and discovered the crimp grooves were really inconsistent. I had them up to 25 thousands different between one bullet and another. Those types of problems seem to have gone away as customers demand better consistency.
