    Free bullets

    You know how you always 101 cases in a box of Lapua's. Well it looks like Nosler are up to it too. Today I got a random 160 grain projectile in a box of 155's.
    Just 100 more boxes and I will have a free box to shoot!

    Yeah @Gibo I guess its a bit of a warning / wake up call for everyone to realise there is always the chance the manufacturer got it wrong. In this instance the projectile is a LOT longer and has a white tip, and only 5 grains difference. But sure if that was a 185 / 200 grain projo that looked similar..........

    I once got a 500 gr elephant gun bullet in a box of 308 projectiles for my 30 06. These were Hornady and there was no chance you would miss that one.
