Bought a batch of 2000 (which is a significant number of them, to me anyways) M193s from an online retailer. These were not "blems" "seconds" or "pull downs" but advertised as new product.
Look at the different lengths here, and these nose profiles.....
To me, this is comedic.
OALs are all over the place not only due to their actual length, but due to different diameters at any given point along the ogive thereby mating with the seater stem in different places, making the actual OALs further deteriorated in uniformity.
I've emailed the company earlier in the week, and haven't heard back, but It's Chrismas and I don't expect to. Since they do also sell "blems" "seconds" and pull downs, my guess is I inadvertently received one of those second quality products rather than the top one I ordered.
My goal is to just load "blammo" with these and a mid weight charge of h335, but I'm not even sure I want to due to the lack of uniformity in these darn projectiles.
At 8.5 cents each, I expected better.
