Look at this crap Accubonds
 
Man, someone must be falling asleep at the wheel at Nosler. I have a box of .308 with a few in like this. And these are from a box of .284" 160gr. All of them looked kinda bad with burnt spot on them, but these are deformed some.

I'd be sending that picture to Nosler and seeing what they say. It doesn't fix the problem, but if they're willing to correct the situation....at least you'll be able to give us an idea about their customere service:)

Has this kind of Quality Control been common lately? Any bullets I should watch out for or avoid?

Tx, can't think of too many you need to watch out for. I do know mossyoak33 on here had a bad set of 180gr accubonds, that were flawed where they would seat tight at first but after then he could push the bullet up and down. I think they sent him another set and said a bad batch went out that was tapered wrong.

We pay high dollar for bullets these days, and its ashamed. But well see what they say.

Nosler has a forum. I would post that picture on their forum. And then see what they do. Tom.

If you shoot Nosler an email with the picture and details on the lot number, etc. I'm sure they would be more than happy to correct the problem and replace the box of bullets.

yeah I called Nosler and they asked me to send them 3 or 4 in a baggie for them to examine. I did that and maybe a week later a brand new box showed up at my house. Great after the fact customer service, not so good Quality control. I work on a production line that makes about 160,000 peices per week and I know occasionally we ship one out thats not in spec. Its the nature of the beast when mass production happens.

BC, I have been using hornady interbonds due to the fact that they are cheaper than accubonds and perform as well. I did get 2 or three junk bullets in a box of 100. I think it just happens. I am actually only gonna use bonded bullets for elk and locked bullets for all else (deer andtelope). EJ

The two to the left looks terrible but the other three just look tarnished and not expectable. I know I wouldn’t be happy...
