They’ve gotta be high. Those prices are crazy.

That’s more than the first runs were costing a few years ago. I expected a price bump but that is just unreal.

Do the overuns and 2nds have different ogive lengths in the batch? What defects do they have to be called overuns and seconds?
I never bought them, I always bought the genuine bullets.

Usually just a cosmetic flaw. They shoot fine. Some have crimp grooves but honestly 2nds are all I’ve shot and used for nearly 15 years or better now. With this price hike, they can keep them though. Lotsa great bullets out there now that aren’t as rich as what Nosler wants.

im not bitter as they make excellent bullets, just not that excellent to command that sorta premium over their counterparts.

Off my soapbox
