Every company has their colors. Barnes are usually blue. Nosler has everything. Hornady is normally red. Swift does a lot of black.

Part of the reason why this tip is black is because the first ones were lathe-turned while the plastic injection molds are being made - and Delrin(R) comes in white or black.

We have been using red primer sealant on supersonic and blue on subsonic loads.
