I'm also noticing that they chose to show the 144gr FMJBT at normal COL, not a 123gr.Actually, I have to wonder if that is an error in the photo caption. The bullet ogive and meplat look to me more like the 120gr Norma FMJ than the 144gr Lapua. The Norma bullet has almost a secant ogive and a noticeably flat tip, whereas the Lapua projectile is clearly a tangent ogive and more pointy tip. This was discernible in the specimens I had, as well as in the photo below. (Not that it really matters. It's just a point of curiosity.
