I shoot buckets of 77 gr NCC 224 Blems. The metplats and hence OAL are always all over the place and for the most part the bullets are shorter. This is from multiple orders. Never makes a difference shooting paper at 100 or 2 MOA steel out to 600 yards. At 900 yards on a windless day, dispersion was noticeable greater at 900 over 1st quality. BC wasn't affected though - elevation was as predicted. At 1000 on another windless day when they were hitting Mach 1.2 at 950 yards (6600 ASL and a summer DA over 10000) the vertical dispersion indicated that the were starting to tumble. I unfortunately didn't have 1st runs on hand that day.

I shoot the 150gr CC seconds that I loaded on my 650 out of my FAL. 4 MOA all day, you can't even tell they're seconds.

I ordered 200 of those 123 gr Nosler CC blems as well. First pack, I've encountered everything from 1.170 to 1.220. Most fall between 1.184 and 1.196. I'm sorting them into a tackle box with small compartments...
