Barnes Bullets Alloy Change?

Post by tvarden »

So was loading up some 300 Blk Out tonight and had a few older boxes of 30321 and some newer boxes. I loaded the older boxes(maybe pre Remington) first then when I opened the newer boxes (probably Remington Owned) I noticed they are much shinier (maybe more zinc) also noticed that the new ones no longer had the X on the base. Anyone noticed this and more importantly anyone noticed performance changes?

i mean.. copper does tarnish with age... so it might just be that.

i dont shoot enough barnes stuff to have noticed the missing X
