SPEER= decent accuracy and killing ability. SIERRA = ACCURACY and great killing ability. HORNADY = pretty darn good accuracy and the most "blood and guts" for the money!! I shoot a lot of SIERRA BLITZKINGS. I shoot a lot of HORNADY VMAX's. SIERRA has always been known for their accuracy from even 40 years ago! Hornady has always been known for their "blood and guts" wIth acceptable accuracy from 40 years ago+. Speer is an also ran. When Ray Speer quit making his GOLD MATCH offerings in the mid-70s, they became just another bullet maker. The Bergers, Barnes, whomever are Johnny come lateleys who offer nothing more than hype and high prices!! If looking for affordable, accurate projectiles, look to SIERRA and HORNADY to provide them!!
