was hoping the buyout would be a good thing. not looking good, bullets originally to be released at shot show now late summer,dont stock up before the move, now the boxes I liked the different color hope they make the labels with big enough differences to keep it simple.

My prediction... LOTS of confusion to come, over the boxes/labels. They should have stuck with orange & yellow.
Also, by this point in time, if they do EVER make and release a .257 140 Elite Hunter, as long as I've been b!tching about it, I think they owe me 1,000 pack for free...That is, if i'm still alive by then...Might take them another 50 years or so...

If you need colors to guide you, I feel for you.

Nothing is a matter of "need", it's a matter of what those of us who have been shooting Bergers for years, are all used to. I don't see where it would cost them any extra for orange boxes over yellow boxes, especially if they're buying an equal number of each.
Just an opinion, not a necessity.
And for those who can't grasp that concept...I feel for them.

Your mouth is what inspired me to post. How can you not grasp the concept of 2 different colors cost more. You can't understand a sticker That says "hunting" or "target". I Feel for you.

I appreciate your candor. More often than not, we only care about our own perspectives or perhaps it's what we have gotten used to. These days, the industry is considering other view points, i.e., people that are color blind. In my first job in the USAF in the late 1980s, being color blind was a discriminatory factor. They changed all wiring to white and slapped a long alphanumeric codes on each wires instead. Sure it took time getting used to but it was not an end all. Earlier this month, I had to renew my CAC card and there's a "W" on it that was not there on my previous cards. The "W" stands for white (color of the CAC card), apparently there was a mandate for it. It might be viewed as an inconvenience for most of us but might be a big deal and helpful for others.
IMHO, having an open mind will get us all further. Cheers!
I wondered what the W on my new card stood for....I just never asked, figured it stood for the next guy to get let go during the next round of cutbacks
LOL!

We are in the process of changing/redesigning the box/label setups at the moment. The eventual plan that we've been told here on the Tech side is that the boxes will all be yellow but the labels will have a new look and that where the color differentiation will be. We've seen some samples and if that's what gets pushed through to production, I personally really like them. Right now in the middle of it the change, they ran out of the old boxes but don't have the new labels ready so they are doing what they can. The label may look different but bullet quality will still be what you expect
The same is true with humility.
