I have grown less fond of blems after listening to a bunch of the Hornady podcasts. Apparently that is how they sell bullets that failed their quality standards (including accuracy requirements) but are still considered in-spec for a looser standard. For example, the SAAMI range for Grendel bullet diameter is 0.2643 to 0.2613, but a minimum spec bullet may produce terrible accuracy in most guns. I remember some people complaining about the "undersized" FMJ bullets in the Wolf ammo, but they were still within the SAAMI spec, just nearer the bottom of it.
