Foreign "Stuff" inside Custom Comp HPBT bullets??

[jicko]

I've noticed some "foreign stuff" inside the hollowpoint of some Nosler Custom Comp 223 Rem HPBT bullets that I just bought thru Nosler's website.

Here is a picture:

What is it? Will it affect the performance of the bullet? (Maybe it is "corn cob polishing media"????)

Here is a pic of the product number:

Get a needle and try poking it out or something.

Were all of them like that, or just that one??

Many of them.... it is NOT easy to "rework" all the ones that is like that....

Since, if I poke it... most of the time, it fell back inside... I have to shake it again for it to show up in the tip again....

I wouldn't worry about it if it is JUST this one. :-(

I think it is just wax or polish Nosler uses to clean up the bullets after manufacture. I`ve seen the same thing once in Hornady 22 cal match HP bullets. I doubt it hurts any, I couldn`t see any difference in how they shot.

They seems to be "solid"... that's why I suspect that it may be corn cob polishing media...

I too would say it is a piece of tumbling media. Black hills HP ammo has it in the cavities too. Doesn't affect performance at all.
