Possible Hornady uses a different bullet (cannelures) in their factory loaded ammo, than the ones they sell for reloading. That way they can tell the difference if a problem arises with their factory loads. Weatherby was loading Nosler Partitions in their factory ammo, and those Noslers had cannelures. When I bought some Noslers to reload, they did not have cannelures. I called Nosler about the lack of cannelure, and I was told they only sell the partitions with cannelures to Weatherby for their factory loading. This was about 6 years ago, and it was the 210 Partition in the .340 Wby Magnum. No telling what they're (Nosler or Weatherby) doing now.
