Power Belt bullet skirts/found something new!!!
I dont know if anyone has posted about this before but, I was bored again and messing with some powerbelt bullets and I started twisting the skirts off again. I noticed there is a number, it can be either a single or double digit stamped on the flat side of each skirt. I figure it may be lot numbers. I looked at 8 left out of a pack of 15 and the numbers ranged from a low of 7 to a high of 23. Only two had the same number 19 on them. Do you think if the numbers do stand for lots that the mixing of them in a pack of bullets could be the culprit to sticking skirts and the accuracy failures in some rifles. Maybe different lots may vary in thickness and diameter too. Has anyone else noticed the numbers? Anyone know if it does stand for lot number or not?

Might just be an identification marking of a mold. I just wonder what the tolerances are on the molds. A little variance could make a big difference in performance dont you think.

Interesting question. About contacting them though, I haveemialed them twice in the last month asking questions about the new platinum bullets. They have not answered me, and they don't even have any info about the new bullets. Must not spend much time with their website. You would think that as much time as it takes to develop and come out with a new product, they would have the info up on the website. May have to call them directly.

I would guess that BS has hit it right on the head. That way if something goes wrong, they know where to look. Let us know what you find out if you look into this more.
