[QUOTE="sfdoc2000, post: 2546515, member: 76742"] I recently purchased 500 "blemished" bullets from Midway, That from the picture on the advertisement looked like Berger bullets. This was the 140 grain 6.5 mm bullet. When they arrived I noticed that the meplats were somewhat different so I sorted them based on weight, meplat appearance and Ogive distance based on my bullet comparator. I found there were three different types of bullets in the lot. Some turned out to be the 140 grain Berger Elite Hunter, some turned out to be 140 grain VLD Match, and some turned out to be 140 grain VLD Hunter. There were also some cosmetic coloring blemishes but nothing serious. So far, they appear to shoot just as well as their first line counterparts. [/QUOTE]
