BackRub, I seem to recall Nosler's online store giving big discounts on factory second bullets in the not too distant past. That would be my first guess for the difference between your bad experience and Nosler's good reputation. I suspect your friend knowingly or not passed some discounted seconds on to you. Googled "Nosler second defects blemish" and confirmed my memory.
