My guess is nosler sells the "seconds" to public so as to not upset the wholesalers and retailers. Noslers seconds are a great deal. I also shoot seconds from some of the other manufactures. These can be a mixed batch and some are out right crooked, bent and mixed ogives. I've never had any problems with the Noslers.

I use them for all my hunting..Those weights are close engouh for benchrest shooting...they are the deal of the century....

Thanks guys, I was hoping that was the case.

Every box of Hornady bullets I've ever loaded varied that much and I never had a problem.
