Re: Blemished bullets available at Midsouth
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: kolkio</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What do they mean by "blemished" and why would a "blemished" bullet be a bargain? What am I missing? After spending time and money on all aspects of reloading a precision round, then have the most important component be "blemished" seems funny. Can you call your shots with a blemished bullet? </div></div>
From Nosler: "All Nosler products are hand inspected prior to packaging. Every bullet and every piece of brass is searched for imperfections to ensure that every piece meets Nosler's strict quality standards. Products with physical imperfections and deformities are scrapped, while products with only cosmetic blemishes are labeled as "2nds"."
Also, the link I posted above sells 'over-runs' - bullets that have no blemishes at all. They aren't quite as cheap as the blemished bullets but they are cheaper than from any other source I've found.
Even if the blemished bullets aren't as good as premium bullets (and I've never been able to prove they aren't), they beat the hell out of any bargain bullets I've ever bought. Would I use them for my most critical shooting? Probably not just to be safe, but I'd use them for most anything else.
