Too many to list, The .925 jacketed bullets are easier to tune than the 1" jackets. I just bought a 26 year old mint set of hardly used Bill Niemi carbide dies that have a 7&3/4 ogive. From talking to a few guy's who make bullets that is a good ogive when making bullets. I have tens of thousands of both 7-10 ogive bullets but I prefer the 7&3/4. It's a plus that I have so many to chose from because I have some barrels that prefer one bullet over another so thank Christ that I have such a vast selection to choose from. Some of my friends and fellow competitors tell me that I have too many. My reply to that is you can never have too many of anything.

Take a look at the equipment list on the IBS website. It will show you what people are using and have been for the last 5+ years. There are a bunch of GREAT bullet makers out there and most all of them shoot good.

Tim, assuming he hasn't changed dies, which I don't think he has..the Hillbilly 118 is a 7-3/4 ogive on a 1.000 jacket. They're fabulous and I've shot a truck load of them. He also makes a 115 on a .925 jacket that is excellent. Ol' Larry is making a very good bullet. His bullets have been very good to me. I've tried most all of them but gladly keep coming back to his bullet, as it's what has worked best for me too many times to count. Definitely a bullet worth trying out, imho.
