Berger Hunting Bullets in a Yellow Box?

[HTSmith]

I got the bullets in the bottom yellow box today. All of the other Berger hunting bullets I've had have been in an orange box like the one on top. Did I get the wrong bullets?

 

[Rsadams]

Same part number so I would think not....

 

[DirtySteve]

Call them and give them the lot number. They may just have ran out of boxes or some one loaded the wrong ones on the line.

What is on the top of box? Maybe real old ones before they had the target version. Lot number is way different. Matt

I just received some of the 105 HVLD’s in yellow boxes as well.

Maybe Phil will shed some light on this

The early yellow box never said VLD Hunting, just VLD,
then directly below 6MM 105 Grain,
third line Match Grade,
4th line was the lot.

Looking at a box now that's lot # 0000732

I think the box pictured is the transition before orange box bullets?

I have now seen varmint bullets in the yellow boxes also. I picked up a box of 52 224’s at Cabelas thing they were target bullets only to notice varmint. I don’t think we can make assumptions any more. Maybe they have a large stock of yellow boxes on hand

The prefix says new to me if anyone has yellow box that says 1357 no letter other than that I will buy all you have.

It costs money to buy and manage different colored boxes. If the label identifies the contents having different colored boxes makes little sense.

They told me they went to a letter prefix last year? I ordered 1500 7mm Hybrids last year and 2 boxes came with numbers only.
The vendor, Precision Reloading, straightened out their oversight. Sent me 3 new boxes with a call tag for the others.

Target version came first...

I've got some 95gr Target VLDs, one box says BC is .467, I've had that box almost a year, another four boxes showed up in the mail yesterday from Brownells and says the BC is .480. I've asked Berger what is correct.

Target version came first...

No it didn't. The regular bullet was the hunting version, called a target bullet. The target version came when guys in 1000 yard where blowing them up. Mainly the 6.5 versions. They made a thicker jacket and called it a target. Matt

We are in the process of phasing out the orange and I believe the tan boxes. So be sure to read the label carefully to make sure you are getting the right bullet!!

 

[Kyle Schultz]

Wonder if "orange" box Berger bullets will achieve the cult status of "gold" box Lapua brass?

Could the P stand for Phoenix?

Maybe they are using up all the old yellow boxes to make way for new packaging with their new logo?

I can't wait to put orange box hunting bullets on gunbroker for $300 a box claiming they are the old Berger hunting bullets back when they were good ....
