Please forgive the question but I'm trying to learn. Why am I seeing some ammo marketed as HPBT and others as BTHP. They seem the same to me. HSM Custom Plus .308 ammo is listed as HPBT and the Hornady is listed as the BTHP. I hope I'm not getting hung up on stupid questions.

Don't stop. I'm an IDIOT, and I ask Dumb questions, all the time. When your face is that close to a "potential problem", there isn't a REAL dumb question!I just got done pulling a hundred bullets, cause I read the wrong Data line. Thank God, I triple checked.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the good responses and the humor. Those of you in the Navy will recognize my call sign with the LDO => you know what that stands for, right? Loud, Dumb, Obnoxious
for me it feels like the dumb part is the most applicable as I learn more. But I will learn and hopefully will become dam good!
Thanks again and now off to more forum threads for a learning frenzy!

They are.
And if you load flat base bullets up-side down you'll have Boat Tail Wad Cutters that will cut very clean holes in targets. (Us ol' airmen are always ready to help our poor young squid brothers with this here technical stuff!)
