Nosler factory 9.3x62mm ammo

I have two boxes with the same lot numbers. Hope to get out to the range in the next couple of weeks. I will post my results when I get them.

I recently bought some Nosler Trophy Grade ammo with the 250 gr AccuBond from the overstock at Shooters Proshop. I went to the range and shot some PPU 286 gr ammo and Nosler 285 gr AccuBond before shooting the 250 gr ammo. I fired 10 rounds and then noticed the cases. Some had the primers fall out and the plunger imprint on the case. The bolt opened easily and no sticky extraction. There were no issues with any of the other ammo. I have emailed Nosler to see what they have to say. All of the ammo was fired in a Steyr-Mannlicher Model M Professional. Anyone have any problems with Nosler Trophy Grade ammo?

I talked to several people but could not get an answer.

I had some Nosler Trophy and Safari. 9.3x62 285gr. Only difference was brass case vs nickel cases. Both shot 200fps slower than advertised. Called Nosler and was told they must have been labeled wrong. ???

Well I got out to the range and fired off some rounds. All looked fine after shooting. Checked some of my other recently fired brass and it also all looked fine. could it be something with your rifle?

Was this recently or pre-Covid? Just about everything seems to have gone to hell in the last few years.

Were your's from the same lot as the OP's? I have 3 boxes from the same lot as his that I've been hesitant to use due to his experience with them.

Yes they had the same batch code as the OP’s.
