So i have been working up some loads for my 308 using 168gr berger hunting vld's. the first box of 100 i got shot great after finding the right load ( best 5 shot group was .24" @ 100 yards everything else was close to that) but i was running low on my first box so i ordered 2 more from midway and they didnt come close to shooting as well even though everything else was the same. now i have to work up some more loads to see if i can get those results again.
I still had a few bullets from the orginial box left over and i compared the bullets for the old box to the new box and i they looked very different in shape. the new VLD's were much more rounded at all of the angles and the bullets were a few thousands of an inch shorter than the old box.
the boxes from the old and new are identical with all the labeling so i dont think i order a different type of bullet.
has anyone else noticed this and will i have to work up a new load every time i get a new box of bullets? if so ill go back to the gamekings that wouldn't group as good but they have always been the same box to box.
thanks
Pat
