Got a bad box of Accubonds

Not trying to slam Nosler because I love thier product, just wanted to tell the story so others could be aware. Some of you may remember I was having problems earlier with my 300 RUM because the bullets could be pushed in by hand after I seated them. I thought for sure it was something wrong with the neck tension of my Rem cases. So I resized them and tried again, same problem. Finally I bought some casings off of Bigcountry since he got rid of his 300 RUM and they did the same thing. So I took the bullets to work where I have some very accurate micrometers and found they were measuring out at about .3068. I sent a sample of them back to Nosler and they sent me a new box free of charge. These new bullets are right on the money!!! Thanks Nosler! I work for a manufacturing facility and I know quality control is a tough job, I have purchased probably 80 boxes of Nolsers bullets and this was the first problem. Just trying to give you guys a heads up.

2 years ago I was loading up some Nosler BTs for a buddy for coyotes for his 243 and we had the same problem. He was using once fired cases that I resized/trimmed, so I got out some of my new brass and it was the same way. We never sent them back, he just bought a new box, so ya it does happen. I could actually pull the bullets out or push them in with my fingers.
