I know it's been discussed before, and specifically mentioned by Pat, that the bearing surface changes from lot to lot. I also noticed that on my most recent purchase of them, the meplat is significantly smaller, and the transition from bullet shank to ogive is much more dramatic. It's a sleeker bullet in this batch for sure. Has anyone noticed this in their batches and/or noticed a difference in terminal performance? I'll be opening up the tip just a tad, but it's still not as open as my previous lots. If I could figure out why my pictures don't post on this site, I'd show you guys what I'm talking about.
Anyways, the new Ridgeline 300 Win Mag arrived this week, and I'm going to test some sedate Varget loads. If I can get away with 60-61gr of powder for 3100-3200fps in a light rifle, you best believe I'm going that route!
