Nosler factory seconds are excellent bullets and fully equal to the "firsts."
Frankly, I have never seen an external blemish or badly assembled bullet in Nosler's seconds. What I HAVE seen is that the bullet weight may be a grain or so heavier or lighter than the target weight ... thus, the lot is declared seconds. But, the weight will be consistent within the lot and the individual bag of bullets.
Don't ask me how I know, but whenever Nosler is out-of-stock in a bullet that is requested by a gun writer, they will ship bags of seconds to the writer. If the seconds were inaccurate or inferior in any way, Nosler simply would not do that.
