Thread: Checking projectiles between batch numbers

An interesting thread this. I admit I never bothered to check batch to batch.

As well as changing projectile dimensions, it’s worth noting that manufacturers change jacket thickness and composition too, as mentioned above. I think this is mainly down to US hunters driving them too fast in fast twist barrels then complaining when projectiles disintegrate. The result is manufacturers getting twitchy and projectiles being beefed up to the point that they fly well but terminal ballistics suffer, esp at longer ranges.
