[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1743216, member: 10429"] That's funny. But quality control is quality control. I just dumped about 25 or more of the 129's in the trash last week. The ones I had did have quality issues. There was as much as +/- 0.7 grains difference in weight and the length of the bearing surfaces between the bullets were not the same. I tried sorting them by weight first but they shot better when I shorted them by bearing surface length. I got tired of the difference in them and decided I had plenty of other bullets to burn out my barrel with. Also in some of the old threads, there was, I called Nosler and they said they had to be loaded a very special way. And when you asked no one ever posted what Nosler had recommended. I still have a box of 210s for my Rum that are setting in the closet. I bought these about a year later then the 129's. I hope they are a better. I also shot some loaded rounds in the RUM which shot ok. Some day I'll get around to loading some of them up. As for Berger's, I never had to sort or weigh the bullets just find a seating depth they liked and then I would load the rest of the box. I have shot a lot of 140 VLD's and they been consistent from box to box also. For as shooting these rounds I probably shot over 4000 of them. But I'm always up for testing themn again. Maybe the quality control of the 129's or 142's have gotten better. [/QUOTE]
