I have used these blemished in the past and can't see any difference between the new ones off the shelf. I weighed a few and compare to unblemished (From store) and the weight didn't vary anymore than the new. Rudy
i've got a bunch of them on the shelf in a couple calibers. as far as ive seen they're only cosmetic stuff... sometimes a poly tip is squished a bit, but that's been the worst i've seen so far.
