The best thing to do is get in touch directly with Bart if that is what you plan to shoot. Check with @Chris Mackey also. He was selling some Barts here not long ago.

If you do not make your own bullets, it may not be good to get stuck on a favorite. Different barrels shoot some bullets better than others. Also, different lots from the same maker shoot differently.

I’m still figuring it out, but I think that a particular reamer may lead to more consistent and repeatable results using it preferred bullet.

All of that to say, my answer is the bullet from the manufacturer that shoots the smallest in the barrel I have screwed on.

Far easier to find and tune short range bullets than long range. I think some make a job out of it for various reasons. No flags during load work up, poor bench manners, equipment issues. If you keep trying bullets after bullet, powder after powder with poor results you need no address your overall program.No need to wear out your barrel. A lesson should be learned from Tony Boyer....If his pet load did not work that barrel was not a competition barrel. I am a believer.

And always best to have a back up plan if your best favored bullet is out
of stock everywhere, and a match is coming too soon.....
