[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2546043, member: 313"] I stopped shooting Nosler blems because none of them were blemished. They sell "overruns" which is different but "blems" are being discounted out for a reason. If their "blems" aren't blemished then there is some other reason that they are sold the way they are. I believe that they don't meet the specs of first run bullets. They may be fine for punching paper but I wouldn't want to be working up accuracy loads with them and I wouldn't hunt biggame with them either. I realize that other shooters may feel differently but that's my take on the "blem" issue. With regard to the C grade bullets with tips broken off or falling out: I had a few boxes of Nosler Accubond bullets (1st run) that had several tips that were broken off. I contacted Nosler who said that based on the lot number that the bullets had been made several years prior. They promptly replaced the bullets but told me to keep the defective bullets. Just for the heck of it, I loaded them up to see how they would shoot. The tipless bullets landed in the group with the tipped bullets. Go figure. [/QUOTE]
