[QUOTE="nmbarta1, post: 1352482"] My base to ogive just jumped .022 when I started into a new box. I've had great luck with these bullets, but I'm not interested in doing load development on every box. While I'm complaining, why do they put #2841 right on the front of the box of 175 eld-x bullets, this looks like a lot #. I always try to buy powder, bullets, brass, primers in decent sized quantities so I don't have to deal with lot # changes as often. So I bought several boxes thinking they were the same lot number, but found out that the lot number is on the bottom and this number doesn't mean anything that concerns me, yet that's the number they put on the front of the **** box. So I ended up with a bunch of mixed up lots that hardly resemble each other in shape. This is not fun to find out right before hunting season when I have exactly 9 of the bullets left that I used to develop this load. (I thought I had several hundred) Sorry for the rant, but **** it, this really ****es me off. I get that nobody is perfect but .022 isn't just a little change it lots, that could go from being .010 off to .012 jammed. [/QUOTE]
