Thread: Variations in Projectile Shape

Thanks Micky Duck,
I suspected that the cause could be the need to reduce costs on their older lines of product. Hornady seems to have produced a number of new super duper projectiles over recent decades. To satisfy my curiosity test loads for both types of projectiles have been included in some burning rate testing on new lots of powder for AR2206H and AR2213SC. A report will follow in due course. The blunter profile of the newer 174 grain .303 projectile does allow seating 2.5 mm of the lands with 6 mm seated in the case, pretty good for a .303. This rifle shoots well and gets taken on ceremonial hunts from time to time.
Regards Grandpamac.
