Best bullet you ever shot.

[1K6BRA]

Sniping woodchucks- 50 gr. Sierra blitz king
Dropping whitetails- 100 gr. Barnes TTSX
Punching paper- 103 gr. hand pulled Vapor Trail‘s
Knocking over steel- 140 gr. Berger hybrids

The Nosler 40 gr. .22 Ballistic Tip. This bullet has shot in the “1’s” across 3 different rifles at various twist rates and a very wide velocity range. Has shot 3 touching at 200 yards on a few occasions. Out of various boxes I might add. And, with me doing the shooting that’s saying something.

Just curious. Excluding hand swaged. What’s the most accurate bullet you’ve ever shot, and what cartridge was it for? Let’s say, 1,000 yards and in. Obviously many factors go into an accurate round, but just for the sake of argument.

Old Berger 68 gr. Flat base HP with xx 133 in 6 ppc .ALL this in a .100 group at 100 yds. while fire forming, 220 Russian brass.
WHO'D A THUNK IT ???

You said “excluding hand swaged”, many of the bullets suggested are indeed hand swaged.

But then that is what many of the participants on this Site shoot. These are made by numerous custom bullet makers that provide the very best for Match Shooting, Varminting, and just good ole bragging rights at the range.

I suppose you should have said “semi-custom” or even “Factory”. For that, I would say the Hornady “A Max” in my custom 30/06 out of a 1-9 twist Krieger Barrel.

The best ones I have shot for accuracy

Sierra 70 match in a 6x44BR with imr 4895

A very underrated bullet. The best shooting bullet in my 6BR, with Benchmark.

For a mass produced bullet, the Nosler BTips in 22 and 6.

 

[Liven The Dream]

Berger 105 HB

 

[Bill K]

For big game, Core Lokt and Nosler Partitions. Now with lead free required in my state, Barnes and Hornady or Nosler lead free for big game and varmints, in various calibers in my rifle or handguns.

Impossible to answer given the wide variety of bullets that are not necessarily the most accurate in general but shoot great in a specific gun. One example: I have a Ruger American Rifle in .223 that would not shoot to save its life. One day a friend at the range gave me some Nosler 70 grain RDF bullets to test. Voila! The damn little cheapo gun shoots one-hole groups at 100 yards with the RDF. Now, the RDF is a good bullet, but I am sure there are much better bullets.

 

[SSL]

.17 Remington - 10" 25-grain VMax
,223 - 8" twist 53-grain VMax
.223 - 12" twist 50-grain VMax
.22-250 - 14" twist 52-AMax (still have 800 of them!)
.243 Winchester - 9.25" twist 75-grain VMax
7mm BR - 10" twist 120-grain SSP (Single Shot Pistol - no longer made)
.280 Remington - 10" twist 139-grain InterBond
.30-06 Springfield - 10" twist 165-grain InterBond

See a pattern here? Hornady bullets have always been good to me.

[Charlie-NY]

One of the smallest groups that I ever shot came in at .625" @ 600 yds. I used a rather plain-jane 75gr Hornady A-Max bullet that I moly & wax coated. It was shot from a 22-243AI.
