I get the same thing out of the 110 grain Nossler. FWIW they do not sell them as blems. They are sold as contract overruns and with the military veterans discount are under $12 a box. They are a high pressure load. Flat primers and stretched cases. Just something to look out for at reload time. Trim them up and they reload fine. In any case they move out of a 8 1/2" barrel at 2300 FPS and 2400+ out of a 16" barrel. I would not hesitate to use them as a self defense round.

I have yet to see a 150gr expand out of the blackout. Please post your results with perspective loads, it would be very interesting.
