Would you be concerned using these Accubonds?

[9.3 Hunter]

where the heck are you finding Nosler Accubonds for 6.5 creedmoor at $2 a round? maybe i need another coffee to think straight, but, I am used to paying $50 for 20 rounds of Norma whitetail stuff, $40 if it goes on sale...Nosler is closer to $70 for 20 in my experience...

*EDIT* ok, another coffee in, i realize these are for the bullets only, not a completed cartridge. all is good in the world again.

Just be cautious using tumbler as you might damage the tip that some shooters claim might create accuracy issue.

Tip damage doesn't affect accuracy.

Out of curiosity, anyone know the rules around importing projectiles from the US to Canada?

It's not importing into Canada that is the issue. It is exporting from USA that is the problem.

That is how i understand it as well. The Nosler rep I have been talking to was saying they do not warranty products in Canada because we won't let them. Seemed a bit mistaken, but I'm not in the industry so I am far from the pro on these matter.

Of the thousands of Nosler bullets I handloaded, only one defected..............not a bad record. OP, I'm sure they will shoot fine.

I'm sure they will. Loaded a bunch up this afternoon.

Patina has been known to add value to some objects...HA.

If you really want shiny new looking bullets use a little Flitz on a cloth.

Recent changes have closed some loophole maybe. I used to buy my Hammer bullets directly from the manufacture as they cited some U.S. rules that allowed it for Canada and somewhere else. I purchased from them three times without issue on their side of the border. However Canada post poops the bed here. Delivery of products that they are paid well for is non existent. Anyway the Hammer website now redirects to a company that guides you through the process of getting the import document and stuff that you need to know. Just go on their website and check it out. The answers are there. Cheers

Just opened a new box of Accubonds and half of them are discolored, almost burnt looking. What do you guys think, any performance issues using them still? I have never run into this situation before. At $2 a bullet you kinda expect better quality.

I wouldn't worry but if you like shiny things like me. Throw em in the walnut shell vibrating tumbler to make em pretty. Cheers

Exactly! A coworker once bought a box of bullets at Cabelas in the US. On the way back was stopped by Homeland Security, the usual questions, any firearms, ammunition or explosives in the car. He says no but I have a box of bullets for reloading. They tell him he is not allowed to export them out of the country. Friend says they are legal in Canada, officer says you are not in Canada. An hour later after much explaining he is on his way home again without the bullets.
