I just got a couple hundred yesterday and Ive been curious about the "blemished" title. Ive looked at a mess of Noslers, Sierras and others and have never seen a thing. On these however I guess because the light was just right i could see a finely burnished ring on some of the ogives. Id guess it was just a build up of some kind of swarf in the dies and it just burnished the surface. If they find more than a few in a run they probably drop their entire run because it costs too much to polish or individually sort. So most of the "blemished' are probably not blemished. Good news.
