it is pricey being a Nosler.

Somewhat related info. I have shot the nosler custom competition in 69 grain and had issues stabilizing in a 1/8 labeled barrel. It was odd several rounds would be fine and one would fly off a couple of feet at 100 yards and leave an elongated hole.

The barrel shot 55 and 62 grain bullets fine.

weird i had the same issue with a 1x7 barrel 69 grain custom competition,my 77 grain noslerCC would group touching buttholes.i sent the ammo back to nobler and requested some 77 grain in exchange which i got.
i do not have the lot number on that ammo.

come to think of it my friend had a DPMS 20 pencil barrel 1x9 A2 and the 69 grain shot like a champ in it.
