How are they blemished?

.30 Cal 168 gr HPBT for $16/100. That's $14 off the normal price. I just placed and order for 500. I hope they are not too badly damaged.

I ordered some blemished bullets from them I think last year. Overall they are in great shape and least dimensionally, but there are some slight discoloration of the surface. Purely cosmetic!

I run them thru my tumbler and they came out pretty shinny!

forgot to mention... don't run HP bullets in the tumbler!

things get stuck in the cavity.

I got my order yesterday. My quick examination of blems compared to factory correct included size and weight comparisons. Weighing a few dozen blem bullets gave me the same weight ratio as the correct +- 0.2 grains. I then checked sizing using calipers and measured length and width as various locations. The blems were right on with the factory correct. Other than the brass not being as shinny as a factory correct bullet I don't see the difference.

For $16/100 this is a great deal. I only ordered 500 bullets but decided to purchase an additional 1k. Unfortunately, when I checked the site they were completely sold out for the bullet I wanted. Next time I will not be so hesitant to order in bulk.
