I'm getting ready to work up a load using the 168gr hunting (28570). Graf's has them in stock.
I think the only difference is the label. I have wondered- same grain, same bc, different jacket thickness. I can't process it. How can weight and bc be the same if jacket thickness different.

How can weight and bc be the same if jacket thickness different. as a matter of fact they do not weigh the same. Check them you will see!

What is the difference between your bullet types? (Target/Tactical/Varmint/Hunting)Posted March 6, 2013Our Target and Tactical bullets are designed with thicker jackets that withstand more stress before bullet degradation occurs. A target or tactical shooter generally fires multiple rounds in a row, causing the barrel to heat up and more stress on bullet. To keep performance high, we give these bullets thicker jackets.Our Varmint and Hunting bullets have slightly thinner jackets. This means that the bullet will expand more effectively, creating a large wound cavity that devastates the animal using hydrostatic shock. Hunters generally shoot 1-3 bullets at a time, so bullet degradation is not as much of a concern as expansion.Read more here: http://www.bergerbullets.com/information/line-and-designs/

The question is how do you change jacket thickness, add/take away two different types of metals, and then end up the same total weight and bc? Maybe I'm just tired but it doesn't add up. Take away copper, add lead, bullet still same size/weight/bc?
