Are the two different boxes pictured here the same and just have been rebranded?

Look the same to me they both are green and invisible -

Looks like three boxes have the number 8096 on them but one doesn’t. Maybe different powder, powder charge, or both on the Black ?Comment

nope...different lot #.
similar, but not the same...that is unless they print on paper the same.
Doesn't matter otherwise...unless needed for long range results.Comment

I was turned on to the 168 A Max MATCH for a hunting round years ago and have had great results with it. Academy did not have them but had the 168 A Max Blacks.Originally posted by Artos View Post
Just seeing what the brain trusts thoughts are in the differences.Comment

They say it's manufactured for use in "black" guns or AR platform rifles. Below is from a Gun Digest article:
"While some of the loads in the Black lineup are new, most of the Black ammo line includes existing loads that were scattered throughout other lines of Hornady ammunition that perform well through MSRs. For example, certain cartridges that were once labeled with Varmint Express, Custom or Match labels may be renamed under the Black lineup. In most instances where existing Hornady loads are re-branded under the Black name, the existing loads will be discontinued and replaced with the new Black label SKU."Comment

If you go into the Hornady web site you can see the differences...each has a slightly different ballistic coefficient.Comment
