Ditto, open box tipped over on one of my pig sty shop counters. Tried (unsuccessfully) re-qualifying them with powder scale. Shot them anyway and in a caliber with a better SD, I could have figured out which was which. Unfortunately, they were 450b. FWIW, pulling down
harder all copper bullets is more forgiving than pulling down
softer cup and core bullets. I have reused pulled XPB bullets with no ill effect. One of the benefits of crimping down into a driving band groove. I've never seen a pulled cup and core bullet I couldn't visually identify as having been pulled down. Unfortunately they go into the recycling box. I've got enough variables in my life already.
