    I thought they were suspending all development and some bullets production to keep up with demand of the most popular projectiles.

    Something smells funny.

    they look good, $50USD for 100, might be about $1 a pill here so a very affordable alternative

    The BC is fairly average but the speed of the 285 might get it closer to the 300 Berger

    Yep, it just doesn't smell right to go from"we are that bloody busy tryin to meet demand we are stopping all development and production of all less popular projectiles to satisfy the bulk of demand"

    To "hey look at this we made a 338 amax"

    Yea about time but WTF!???
