Not to rain on your's or anyone else's parade on these Noslers, but they have been a major disappointment to me. I have purchased and shot many 1000s of their overruns and "blems" and in general they are just plain inconsistent. Some batches are good, some are not. I don't know if it is their bullet shape, or QC but across the board, the Noslers just don't have the accuracy of Sierras. It's going to take me years to go through all the overruns and blems I've purchased from Shooters Pro Shop, but I'm not buying any more.

If you find they work for you, then great. But I'm sticking to Sierras for when it really counts.

Mineralman      No kiddin?  Thanks for the insight ...ive never used the Noslers,but have bought SSA 6.8 from them ,and they worked pretty good...maybe the SSA's I got from them was before Nosler bought them out?  Thank you again!       Wash

And that's a good thing! I'm glad it worked out for you. But I'd be wary of anything out of their Shooters' Pro Shop. I don't think they are intentionally trying to deceive anyone. But after many thousands of .308 and 5.56 projectiles loaded and sent downrange, my conclusions are irrefutable for my rifles. They are good for plinking, sometimes a little bit more, but not consistent enough for precision work.

I'll say this in regard to SPS bullets. They and everything else seemed to work well when using IMR4064. That powder is just amazing, but it loads like Lincoln Logs, and for that reason I won't use it. I can find a good combination with other powders.

I don't have any issues in measuring and loading IMR4064 using a Lyman generation 6 digital powder dispenser.  Out of 100 rounds loaded over the weekend there were only 4 that were off by 1 grain and none were off more than 1 grain.  I agree that it doesn't flow like 414 or 223, but it does perform where it counts.  By the way, the 100 rounds I loaded over the weekend were 175 grain Nosler HPBTs that I got from Rocky Mountain Reloading a couple of years ago.  I have shot 250 to 300 of the 500 I bought and they have been very consistent.
