270 130 ballistic tip design change?

Hi guys,

I have gone to the new fluorescent yellow style box and the coal changed quiet a bit from the old box design.

Is the new box designate the design change? The new bullet looks to be more similar to the AccuBond.

When did this happen? The gun shops in Australia didn't even know.


Cheers

Hi Anthony,
Have boxes of both new box and old box in 30 caliber. I put them both on my bullet comparator and the measure the same. I don't see any difference except the box. They engage the lands at the same point. The ABLR is a little different and you can see that with out measuring.

Did you get them and try them?

Are you measuring your OAL base of case to tip or base of case to ogive? Base to tip measurements can vary a lot but I have also seen bullet base to ogive be different when switching lot numbers.

I notice the change when i was loading for the old box design of 84.9mm (3.342) when i put the new box (fluro yellow) projectile seated is was seated deeper.

the seating die seats via the ogive or a set point in the die. so if you change the design of the projectile the depth changes.

cheers

Anthony, have you shot them? Meaning, how is accuracy affected with the new seating position?

I think the bright fluorescent tip has been added so if you miss the bright glow going by will immobilize them for the follow up shot.................












Sorry, couldn't help myself. :grin:

That would be fine for others but it is really unnecessary for a 270 :mrgreen:

Egads. How could I have forgotten that?
My mistake. :grin:

That went off the rails rather quickly. :shock:

Sorry Dr.
got carried away

OP,
Please forgive the flip comments. All meant in fun.

Yeah.... What Dewey said, please forgive him :mrgreen:

HA! Mike, what did you expect when the grand old .277 came up?

Well, I mean everyone knows that you can't kill an elk, much less a deer, with such a puny caliber; you need at least .284 caliber! And for Dewey to intimate that the bright glow (at the sedate velocities that particular cartridge can generate) can't dazzle anything! :mrgreen:

Dr.Mike talk like that causes great concern for St. Jack followers. I have taken the majority of my game over the years with my 270win and 130gr. partitions and Accubonds :shock:.
However now I use my 280AI in most situations. :lol:

What about the actual group size? 2" lower is sorta interesting as well. Same lot of powder?
