Interesting that they were in the older style box. The new style box that I bought recently in has a gloss finish with different text etc. The part number is the same though. #33361[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Being a curious sort of bloke, I compared a few of the bullets from the old style packet against some from the new style packet.[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma][/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Opps, they are a different shape!!!!! The old style box has bullets that seem to have more of a secant Ogive while the new ones seem to have more of a tangent Ogive. This will result in a different B.C. and I would say that they will [B][U][FONT=Arial]not[/FONT][/U][/B] be interchangeable for long range work.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial][/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Has any one else found this and what is the estimated BC of the old packaged Hornady pills?
