Best bullet you ever shot.

As for a factory bullet the 140 gr. Berger Long Range Target bullet hands down is the best I've shot as far as consistency goes. Looks like the Sierra 142 gr. MK is going to be very good as well.
If sorted I believe the Sierra mk is the best inexpensive bullet on the market, I competed with them for years!…. My 6.5*284 loved the 142’s

Now that’s a good breakdown! Thanks
 
I shot Clarence Hammonds 6mm bullets fro 63 to 68 grain in my 6ppcs from 1998 until now. Last 50 are loaded. This was in about 25 different barrels, they would always shoot zeros/ ones. Won a lot of matches out to and including 500 yards with them. Now they are gone so I have a collection to try out this spring in with a new barrel in a 12 twist for the first time.
 
I've not shot them all so Im sure there are much better bullets but the ones listed below check every box I needed them to.
6x45-70gr speer tnt, shoots under MOA to 500yds. Farthest I have shot it. For the price of them Im not interested in another bullet for my 6x45 AR.
308 win-175gr SMK.
44 Mag-270gr speer deep curl
1/9 556 ar15- 50gr vmax
1/8 223 wylde Ar15- 77smk and 55gr nosler varmageddon.
 
Bergers are great, but I'll take Lapua's price point and lower BC.
123 scenar
136L's
Got a strong desire to try thier 90gr as well.
Hand pulled anything Bart's Bullets has in 6mm.
Vapor trails & Vtacs are on deck for tinkering.
 
In my tikka 270- 145 eldx is very good
308- 175 smk
6br/A- for factory the lapua 105 scenar L is very good along with the berger 105 H .
Custom barts 105 hammer- HAMMERS.
30br- for a factory bullet 125 speer tnts are pretty dang good for what they are. Custom barts 112 x-out are GREAT.
6ppc - factory bullet berger 65 grain does well. Custom the best I've used are euber 67 grain. Very good bullet.
6.5- 140vld has been very good for me. Along with the lapua 123s.
