Not bad for Nosler 'blems. Was their shipping cost reasonable?

Shipped free with a $100 order. $140 and change all told for $200..Not declared as blems as I recall and cant see any blems on inspection??????????

Also found the newer 225gr Serrias for the larger 358,s perfect for the 35 Whelen that they are designed for (too hard for the 35 Rem btw)..Optic Planet has them in stock..I ordered several hundred as Ive used them on deer and one cow elk..good bullet.

I checked all 200 pieces and could not find a flaw, but I have used other seconds, brass and bullets without flaws. those in the know tell me its usually over production, fall out?? I use mostly seconds in bullets for hunting, never a problem, that said I have recently found 4 or 5 bad cases in PPU, but its so cheap, who cares.

I have bought lots of "blew" bullets and brass from Midway; NEVER had anything that could be considered as blemished.
Something that the manufacturer didn't want to sell as a retail item. Bullets might be start of production runs, which they don't retail package, and brass might be the same.
No risk here as I see it.

The only problem tht I have found from many BLEM bullets are

No connalure.

Lead sprue on nose tip.

I dont use the cannelure on big game rifle bullets and lead sprue has little if any effect on a bullet IMO.I mostly use Nosler accubonds with the plastic tip and seat my bullets just below the rear cannelure in my 35 Whelen and 9,3x62 Mauser 98.
