Does anyone actually shoot Nosler comp bullets

I have used close to 5k of the 77gr .223's and another thousand in a 6 creed, and I love them. They aren't the quality of a Berger, but the factory seconds are the best deal in the business. Shootersproshop is the way to go.

I shot a lot of the Nosler "blems" Custom Competition. Probably 3000+ of the 140 CC Blems through my first PRS 65 Creedmoor. Great through 800 yards for sure - not sure if misses at 1000+ were me or bullets back then!

I shot and continue to shoot the 22 caliber 80CC "blems" through my 223 bolt rifle (loaded long) and in a 224 Valkyrie gas gun to 800 yards (hard to see impacts after 800).

I shot the Noslers as training bullets because they were super cheap as blems. Over last couple of years, seems like Nosler prices have increased significantly (yes they all have) but the pricing seemed to narrow such that I have not bought Nosler CCs in a while.

Last Noslers I bought were 175RDFs for a 308 but since I am not shooting 308 much do not have a report.

I like Nosler hunting projectiles but for serious target work I am using Berger, DTACs, and now Hornady 134ELDMs. I will continue to use Nosler CC "blems" for practice or shorter range events.

No personal experience with the customs, but the early RDFs were referred to as "random **** flyers" when they first came out. Are they more uniform these days?

I shoot the 220 gr CC blems in my 300 BLK. They shoot well, especially for the price.

I have zero issues with RDF, but I point everything, measure everything and sort my bullets as these for me are full comp bullets I use in 6.5, 7 & 30.
Have not used them in my 338's for some time due to availability, but they are exceptional at the speeds I get. Berger's were woeful…
I use a solid CNC brass bullet in 338 now exclusively.

Cheers.

I shot the 80's at 300 rapid fire prone, they did OK

I bought some 70 RDF blems to shoot in my old R700 LTR and was pleasantly surprised. On a calm day at the local range, the 3" steel at 545 yard was not problem 5/5.

I've used the 6mm 107's in my 6BR. They will match the accuracy of the Sierra Match King which is my go to.

I picked up 500 168gr for my 308. They were blems, but loaded them up and they shoot very well. No real long range testing, but just loaded them for ya know, when you gotta do the things...
