Millennials and gen-z'ers in the workforce. Ever notice how EVERY publication now has poor grammar and misspellings as well as references to things that are just plain wrong?

It won't make them inaccurate…
The base only matters from going supersonic to subsonic in all the stuff I've read.
Cheers.

Probably so but if this is acceptable QC, what else is acceptable?

I have seen a lot of bullets with uneven and damaged tips from several companies. None were 'seconds', cosmetic stuff doesn't really matter, does it?
Have had Accubonds that lost their plastic tips, they still shot into the group with those that still had tips at 300.

Why would anyone want to shoot round bullets?
I've noticed to times that people use the proper word two explain an occurrence or too.
Flat base bullets need a consistent release of gas at the muzzle, hence why the crown is important. A damaged base will cause more problems on flat base bullets. A boat tail is likely less to be as affected, but I argue there is still an effect.
In general the overall qc of this lot gave me fits seating. The cbto was all over the place. These are 190 ABLR.
They did not shoot well.

A perfect crown doesn't make much difference if you have an uneven bullet base.
Send pictures and lot # to them, and see what they say.
I had Accubond Tips crumble and fall out
Sent them pictures and lot # and they sent a new box of them.
Hope this helps.

Please explain how this matters on flat base bullets when there is grooves in the bullet shank from it being forced into the rifling?
Tests have been done on crowns proving it makes almost zero difference, bullets leaving without yaw is what matters, crowns do not make bullets leave straight, they either start out straight in the barrel or not….
Dings in the boat tail are probably the furthest thing from causing your inaccuracy issues, CBTO is probably causing it if different by .003" or more.

You need to call Nosler and give them the lot number of the bullets. Think these slipped by qc, or had some ruff handling during shipping. Would also give the selleer a call.
