I have to wonder also on why they dropped those bullets. I never tried the 30 grain Bergers but always wanted to. I guess I should have stocked up on them when they were available. I'm sure it's a bottom line thing but with Hornady I would have thought the 25 grain HP would always be a good enough seller to stay in the line up. I'll continue to buy them when I see them. I've got around 1000 of them currently so I should have enough to get by. For a while.


It's Hornady. They change their bullet lineup every other month. I have completely discontinued their use because it seems as if as soon as I find a bullet/load I like, the bullet is dropped. They're too inconsistent with their products for my taste. Shame because they have put out a lot of good bullets over the years.
