Nosler Quality Control

[A A Ron]

Any one else seen a box of Nosler bullets with bases this beat up? Seating depth aside I don't know how they could accurate with the base edge dented randomly.

My seconds from shooters pro shop look better than that.

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.

Cheers.

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.
