Hey guys,

Just to expand on Phil's comments earlier on, yes, the tan and orange boxes are being phased out. In the future, ALL Berger bullets will come in the same yellow boxes, regardless of type or designation. We still have some of the orange and tan boxes on hand, and will continue to use them until they are gone. After that, everything will be in the yellow boxes. No differences, no changes, just uniforming the color throughout the line. The labels will identify the contents, as we saw in the OP's photo.

I was just doing some Googling and came across this thread. I just had some of the new yellow box 105 hunting VLD's turn up, part # 24528. Compared to the last box of orange ones I have here with the same part #24528 (Lot # 4487), they measure .617" from the base using my seating depth comparitor compared to .641" for the old ones. The box also lists a .278 G7 BC compared to .272 G7 on the orange box. Is the orange box I have really old (I bought a pile of them a while back) or have they changed recently?

A while back I ordered two boxes of the 87 VLD's. One orange box, one yellow box. Same labels and lot numbers. Just figured it had something to do with the move.

I just got thru sorting 1K, .264, 140 HVLDs with the Bob Green comparator. 500 were older box with just the number lot, 500 were a newer lot with the P prefix. The newer ones were about .014 to .015" longer on the BGT, so I had to keep the lots separate.
Both lots fell with 90%+ within 4 sorts of .0005". Weights were also very consistent, though I only weighed 50 of each lot of 500. I was surprised to to see the BGT measurements to be that far apart, so I'm going to measure BTO, OAL and bearing surface on samples from both lots, to see where the difference is. Probably just a different die.
