Best bullet you ever shot.

[gunsandgunsmithing]

Barts Ultra, hands down- end of debate!

We're blessed with several good custom bullet makers but the op stated no hand swaged, so factory made only. Most all of the customs are top notch. Sometimes you'd be hard pressed to say that one is better than the other but you really have to test so many and so many component variables to say either way for sure. Yes, Bart's are very good.

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.

I like the 50gr ones also. Fenominal in 2 of my 223 and 22-250

For a factory bullet, the Hornady 52gr A-Max, hands down. In a .22PPC Ruger MKII, it would consistently group in the low to mid .2s as long as you wanted to try. No longer have the Ruger, but still have 300 of the 52gr A-Max's. Vaporized a fox's head at 130 yards.
Also love the 65gr FB Fowler's, in 6mm, in the custom bullet arena.

87 vmax in a 10 twist savage 6br I had. Using Varget I shot many zero three shot groups at 100 yards. This was before I knew savages were not accurate.

Hope you had a good supply of TP.....sometimes it gets scarce when there's a pandemic rumor.

That would have been better if you hadn’t thumbnailed it

I’ve enjoyed this thread a lot. These days mainly short range bench rest and long range steel for me, usually some Berger Hybrid (105, 130, 140, 184, or 190) or Sierra MK (110, 142). These have been my favorite mass produced bullets. The best single bullet was a 130+ grain hollow point into the boiler room from my 4” S&W 686-2 357 magnum at about 10 ft. The only deer I’ve killed that went down with all four feet in the air.

The one that hits the mark. I'd have to say Nosler Partition. I've never had one let me down on an elk hunt.

I'm a fan of lots though, depends on the caliber and use.

Vapor Trail or 210 Berger VLD For 1000 yard BR. 300 grain Berger for hunting. Matt

Once upon a time Remington made these 52gr bullets. Best I ever shot in my 222 at a match.

Just out of curiosity....why did the thumbnail not go over?

doing thumbnails has a different effect

Oh and I will add, best bullet for me, Hornady 75 AMax. That bullet flew good all the way to 900 yards, but just didn’t have enough for the last 100 yards. The other was the 22lr 40 gr bullet.

For short range BR, the 65 grain 6mm Bart SM. (Superman).

I will jump in here.I have been pretty sucessful over the years with SMKs. First sort with Bob Greens tool into 3 lots. Than sort those lots base to ogive usually into 3 lots. Then measure loaded rounds base to live. Usually end up 48, 49, or 50 out of each box of 50 plus or minus .0005. I do not sort by weight normally.

for less work option, would sorting by weight get close to what you are doing with different measurements?

 

[Infrequent Shooter]

I guess a factory Sako old style 6ppc round. 70 grain bullet, probably made by Norma or Lapua? Hornady 139 gr SST, Hornady Vmax, 224, 50 gr. corrected
