I was loading some .270 Win and noticed the 130 grain Barnes TTSX didn't have the "X" on the base. The box had a white sticker on the bottom with some numbers and "Rev 7-20" on it. I opened a new box of 168 grain 30 cal TTSX which also had the white sticker, and they too were missing the familiar "X" on the base. Anyone else notice the change in their Barnes bullets??
No big deal, just a slow Friday night with nothing better to do.
 
I got 4 boxes in but did not open to inspect...I must see this missing x you talk about for myself!
 
I bought a box of the Vor-tx 270 Winchester rounds about 3 years ago and they grouped awesome is my Tikka. They've been money for me on whitetails and my go to in that gun. Been living off the same box.....but I'm down to about 8 rounds left and loaded ammo nowhere to be found. So I picked up 4 boxes of these. Being a newb reloader, never knew about the X on the bottom...interesting. Hoping I can replicate the accuracy of the factory loads.....
