Berger .338 250 gr hybrid bullets changed?

Midway says part #33104 "discontinued by manufacturer" ...

These shot nice for me. I don't see 33104 listed on Berger's site any more.


But they list these #33107:

Is this just a packaging change (50/box 33104 vs 100/box 33017)?

This caught my interest. I'd say it's the same. Length, bc, sd all the same.
A phone call to Berger, or email would be the thing to do.

It's just the packaging in my opinion. I did the preproduction testing here for the 250gr Hybrids and they were sent in 50ct boxes. Even the 200 that I got for participating, came in four boxes.

Usually the heavy bullets are shipped 50 pieces at a time, or at least Sierra, Hornady and Berger do so, but Lapua ships them in 100ct and who knows...maybe they want to keep up with the Joneses?

Just a packaging change from 50 to 100 count boxes for the big bullets.
