Thats what this post is about. What is your hands down favorite factory bonded (balllistic silvertip, TSX) ammunition? |

I pretty much reload for everything I shoot now, but there are a couple of manufactured rounds that I've had great luck with. 1.) 25-06 Federal plain box using 117gr Seirra Pro-Hunter. These were extremely accurate in my Ruger 77MKII. I know longer own the rifle.
2.) 30-06 PMC using the orginal Barnes X bullet in 180gr. While most reports for the original Barnes X bullet were less than steller for accuracy, my Abolt loved them.
3.) 12GA Remington 2 3/4" Copper Solid. Best round for my Mossberg 695 slug gun.

Black Hills for .308 and 300 WM.
I reload most of my own stuff, and prefer Amax bullets for precision and accuracy. Took a 237-pound white tail a few weeks ago with a 168-grain Amax. He didn't drop (didn't want to mess up that beautiful early-season cape) but took about 2 steps and folded up. I don't really recommend Hornady factory rounds as they seem to be very sensitive to temp and other factors, but their Amax bullets are tits. |

Reload for almost everything so far except my 45/70. Been using the Buffalo Bore 350 gr stuff for it.

Grizzly Ammo loaded some "special" hunting rounds for my .458 Lott. Outstanding ammo...

Federal Premium .30-06 165g Nosler Ballistic Tip. I've killed a truckload of deer with this round and only 2 ran out of sight and that was because of my poor shot placement on those 2 particular deer.

Federal Fusion shot really well out of my .308 and was effective on both deer and elk. I handload everything now.
