Factory Blemished Ammo

[JohnyRingo]

Has anyone used factory ammo advertised as " Factory 2nds (Cosmetically Blemished)"? I am looking at some Nosler Trophy Grade ammo that is $25 per box cheaper because of the blemishes.

All I would say is, as told to me by a longtime Marine "gunny" who loaded the ammo for the shooting team for a long time - if it has any green OR blemishes around the casemouth/bullet seam dump it

I'm assuming your looking at shootersproshop?
If so I've shot literally hundreds of their blemished ammo and components. None looked very blemished to me. I have a box of accubonds that's been on the shelf for a while that look lots worse than anything I've ever received from sps

you beat me to it. been using them for components for years with no issue. blems and over runs hard to tell a diff.

It basically looks like it was carried around for a season. Bargain.

My guess is a Nosler second is still better ammo than what comes from many other factories....

Berger bullets are my favorite however I have shot lots of different Factory Overruns and Blemished bullets from SPS and they have all been very good no issues at all.
