30 cal e-tip. 180 and 182 grain?

[RMiller]

What is the difference between these two weights?

Is one designed for a specific cartridge?

 

[FOTIS]

Is there an 182 gr out there?

Sps has been selling a 167 and 182 grain etip.

Huh - yes they are - I just looked that up.

Who knew? :mrgreen:

Sorry - no idea what the difference might be. Other than a couple of grains... :grin:

Maybe a different ogive shape. Kinda like the 165 and 168 BTs?

I'll venture that the 182 grain bullet is an overrun on an order for an ammunition manufacturer.

 

[FOTIS]

So they are blemished ....weight wise....LOL

 

[gerry]

Maybe a mistake in manufacturing?

 

[RMiller]

Those were all my guesses too.

I think its kinda strange that no one actually knows what is going on there.

 

[Guy Miner]

Not really - we're all just a bunch of Nosler Nuts. :mrgreen:

If it say's "Partition" on the box, we'll buy it...

That other stuff... we get suspicious!

I saw some that the lower weight bullets were banded? Wonder if that is enough differenece in metal?
