[QUOTE="Lightvarmint, post: 220419"] Gron GG, Four: New dies? So If I had found these bullets to work well and spent a grundle of money to work up a load for them, when were we going to find out that the "old" bullet was no longer going to be available? Or are you going to produce both bullets? When bullet manufacturers change dies or discontinue bullets, people tend to get really upset! GG, The dies he just received this week were ordered last September. He has been waiting on them since then. As you well know, this is fairly standard lead time for bullet making dies. FWIW, most companies improve their product lines all the time and if they don't, they will not be in business long. Someone will come around and improve it for them. I am sure that he will make you as many of the "old" bullets as you desire. However, the old bullets were made on a die that was purchased off the shelf at Corbin and not specifically designed for these aluminum tips and took many more steps to get them correct. The new dies are designed from the ground up for the aluminum tips. Both dies work, but one is a new gerneration die and the other is an older one. So, in reality, you tested bullets that will not be the marquis offering in .338 caliber. You tested the initial phase bullets but you can still get them if you want them if you are not interested in the newer generation offerings. James [/QUOTE]
