Well, if you go to a different manufacturer, you'll still find significant differenced from lot to lot in their BTO's. This is true even for the likes of Berger bullets.I looked into it a little bit and it seems Bryan Litz noticed this too (see below). Apparently there are two different versions of the bullet. One is a bit longer than the other. I checked and all the factory ammo I have from the past year has the less opaque ballistic tip (which is the bullet that shot much better for me).
I would note that something similar happened to me with the 140 grain ELD-M bullets. They shot great and then when I bought a new box they sucked. I would guess there is something similar going on. At the time I didn't pay much attention to it and didn't notice/check if there was a difference in the ballistic tips or the dimensions between those that shot well and the ones that didn't.
Anyway, I have no idea how to know which version I am getting when I buy a box of bullets. I guess I'll have to do some load development and switch to a different manufacturer.

There appears to be two different versions of the Hornady .264 caliber 147 grain ELDM. One is a longer nose, lower drag, higher (but less consistent) BC, while the other is a shorter, higher drag,...www.facebook.com
Ok I wasn't sure because the times I have checked it says backorderedWe've shipped a bunch already. We have LH inlets done and we're making more forends/stocks right now.
How much you want to bet the newer version is cheaper to manufacture?I looked into it a little bit and it seems Bryan Litz noticed this too (see below).

I think you're right about IG. I don't have IG but emailed him a couple times and got lucky and ran into him personally. He was a cool guy. His mom and a couple other from his inner circle were there and they were all super nice, fun people.Seems like I remember once or twice that the easiest way to reach Brandon is on IG. I don't have IG but I also don't have a way to compete in the contest. The time needed, the time needed on a range to get out several hundred yards, etcetera. But I enjoy the show and root for each person. We can talk about it but that is different than doing it. Reminds me of what Mike Tyson said.

When will the Hyve left hand 457 inlet be available?So I like the GB chassis but it really wasn't ever meant for PRS. For PRS we use the Hyve chassis since it comes on both right or left hand. It had a detachable forend but it's dovetailed in so there's no flex. The Hyve is definitely in the next tier of pricing though than the GB. The GB is perfect for a carbon barrel folder to walk in the woods and hunt squirrels
It makes a big difference. I really like the LDK, it’s clean .2 mil holds are a must for me. The experiment definitely wasn’t intentional, but I’m clumsy. I’m really glad it held up as well. I will do another one when I get time just to confirm windage adjustments are correct as well. They did a great job with this optic.The ring to which you refer is called a Modifier Disk (MD). What is does is reduce the size of the aperture (objective) by 50% and thus increases the depth of field viewed through the riflescope. The objective lens diameter is 52MM, and it makes for a handy riflescope. I have one on an AR-10, a rifle which is heavy enough as it is without plunking a heavy riflescope on it.
How do you like the LDK reticle?
I find the clicks on the shuriken turrets to be very positive and extremely accurate. I have the same turrets on my Majesta sitting on top of my match rifle and I really like them. However, I would like to know what you do not like about them.
I have not banged up my scopes like you have, yet, so I'm glad to hear about your torture test experiment. Those 4mm thick tubes can really take some punishment.
