I have not had good quality control with my last box of bullets. My oal measured to the tip has always been 3.42 to the lands with the 200 grain accubonds but my last box measured 3.385. Upon examining the tips they were badly deformed like a melting ice cream cone. I could not get them to shoot at all. My prior boxes were shooting sub moa and my best grouping with this box was 1 3/4" with some as bad as 3". I am going hunting in 5 weeks so I have got to get something that works soon.

After having trouble with the 200 accubonds I picked up some 180s at my local gunstore instead of 200s because I was concerned that the 200s on the shelf may have been from the same lot. Unfortunately I also had problems with the 180s. I loaded 15 rounds and 2 tips fell off. With further inspection by pushing sideways on the tips 2 more of the remaining 35 came off relatively easy. That does not give me much confidence that the rounds in the magazine are going to hold up under recoil. I am going to send Nosler an email to if those lots are bad.
