It's been a while since I tried the Accutips. Your results seem to imply that whatever their problem was, perhaps they have taken the steps necessary to rectify it.

Not necessarily. The two boxes I shot (results posted on December 22, 2011 and March 25, 2012) were purchased at the same time. Variability probably rests with the shooter. The one consistent result was the higher velocities of the Hornady versus the Remington. Could this be attributable to the lighter weight of the Hornady rounds? Someone may know the answer to this and whether or not the magnitude of the difference is accounted for by the 10 gr difference.
I may run the two weights and ballistic coefficients on the Hornady ballistic calculator (and the Remington calculator - I haven't used it yet, but I assume there is one) to see what the results show. I am also wondering if the weight vs velocity trade-off results in the same stopping power and what the change in trajectory will be? All this will be theoretical, of course.
