Strange that you would need to test a new batch of bullets. Are these ones different to the last batch?

If the production equipment has changed then chances are the end product may have changed. We always note batch numbers and recheck our loads etc when a batch changes, especially with powder batches.

We got a surprise a few months back with some of the batch 16's. Lots of people did. You could acutally see a difference in the shape of the projectile and results went south. The last lot before the machine broke were much better but a few of us decided to check with a bag of 100 for any of the new batches coming out.

I will be checking with a bag first aswell. Especially since its new tooling being used for sure, may have to adjust my load for it.

When are the seirra's coming back into stock? WARA is out. Im going to make up a back-up load with 2156's in case the HBC supply dries up again.
