I just picked up a couple hundred blemished Nosler Ballistic Tip 140 grainers for the wife's 270.
Looking at these bullets, I don't see much difference between them and top shelf BTs and they still look better than some other companies' box offerings. My understanding is that any problems with these should be purely cosmetic, but do any of you experienced shooters have trigger time with Nosler's rejects? Should I bother hunting for a gilt-edge load with these or will I just be wasting my time? (With the 130s, her Remington 700 Stainless Synthetic consistently prints 5/8" 3-shot groups at 100 yards, so it seems to like Ballistic Tips pretty well.)
As always, thanks for the feedback. Although I got into shooting and hunting late in life, you guys have sure helped flatten the learning curve, and for that I'm grateful.
