I just received 2 cases of .223 from MG. They are noticably different from the last batch I got a year ago.

1. The tip of the bullet is much blunter
2. The bottom of the bullet has a little "lip" where there is copper coating but no lead. It looks like there needs to be a little more lead.

The length and weights are the same. The new bullet is also a little duller in appearance than my old batch. I know they must be churning these bullets out as quickly as possible to meet demand. Do you think there is a QC issue? I don't have time to go to the range for accuracy testing. My old batch would shoot at least MOA groups.

What do you guys think? I tried to take a picture but it didn't come out very well.

I think you should have called Norm and asked about the changes before you started posting on here. There could be lots of reasons for the changes and only he can tell you why.

As for no time to test, does that mean that if you change lots of powder you aren't going to find time to test it too.
