Default Nosler Brass

So I am now onthe second box of brass from nosler that didnt have 50 pieces.
My 6.5 creedmoor brass came with 48. Then a box of 22-250 came with 49. I know its not a huge deal, but Nosler brass is some of the most expensive on the market. I expect 50 if it says 50. The vendor will not refund or exchange because they are components and said they are a final sale.
Anybody else run into this or am I the only unlucky one?

While I can understand the no refunds / exchange thing with reloading components, I think you're getting screwed if you're being shorted brass. Nosler is expensive stuff, and you'd think you should get what you paid for.

Cabela's by chance?

I wont post the name of venfor here. I dont see it being their fault.
I contacted nosler a month ago. Email and a phone call. I dont expect anything. But I still had to say my piece. The fellow there said he would do what he could. Never ever heard from them again.
I bought some Peterson and Lapua brass.
They came in the quantity advertised

Contact Nosler direct, they package the cases, and they should make good for shorting those boxes.

Phone Nosler, talking to a real human being usually gets a lot better results than email. I found them very responsive and helpful.

Nosler need to adjust their packing scale to match the inconsistencies in their case weights to err on the favor of the consumer.

Yes, I can in fact read and saw that you never heard from him again. I was suggesting you call them back and keep them on the line till you get an answer that satisfies you. Personally I have never been shorted on Nosler or any other brass, in fact most I get 1 or 2 extra pieces.

That said, if it isn't worth the work to make another phone call for a couple of pieces of brass, and you are so critical of those just trying to help then why did you bother posting this at all. Just trying to find out if you are the only unlucky one.
