Difference between the years

Just thought it was neat to see the exact bullets made in a different era side by side

We're all shrinking?

Gravity, over time has shorten the older one?

Reinforced cardboard boxes aren't what they used to be?

You've glued everything to the ceiling?


Oh, Metal is more expensive than it used to be.


Whatever the reason is, Thanks for posting.

That's the type of thing that only a observant long time reloader would've noticed.

Have you shot any into media to see if there any performance differences?

Do they really weigh the same? It would be interesting to check them out on a scale.

I am sure they do, the two projectiles have different nose profiles.

Huh - I wonder if those would work in my 25-20 '92 Winchester? I use and like the 85grSpeers, but they go out of stock for long periods at a time.

I'll have to check this out........

Yes they weigh the same, when weighing both had a range of 116.8gn-117gn

I am guessing the newer bullet uses more lead than copper (thinner copper jacket). Lead is denser than copper so it results in a shorter bullet.
But the older bullet is longer so should have a better BC and be more accurate? Would be interesting to see a grouping comparison.
