[QUOTE="Hydra6, post: 2791402, member: 125161"] I will add that so far with Nosler, Sierra, and Hornady blems - most issues have been cosmetic. I suspect that as they set up for long runs, the first "X" projectiles are pulled and sold as blems until machinery is settled and running "perfect". With the Nosler target bullets I see some issue with length/ogive variation - I just seat the blems slightly deeper (jump more) but the steel targets do not seem to care. I bought the 500 107s (suspect Sierra) for future 6mm target barrel breakin. No use expending "best" target projectiles for first 100-150 rounds on target barrel breakin. Bought the 500 77s to build bulk AR ammo (cheap Mk262 clone). [/QUOTE]
