Daryl:
Starting to think ol'mate might have had some unboxed Hornadys with the red tips, and that's what I saw him loading.
The Barnes were Vor-TX in the light-colored box (now dark grey?) that I noticed when we loaded up at the vehicles
before setting off for the morning.
Like this. ...but no red tip!

Like I said: should have paid more attention.

Guess I better ask him!
