Instead of trying many types of bullets, you need to try bullets that will fit what your hunting. If its light game your hunting heavy constructed bullets will blow right thru and a deer will go for miles with no blood. It your bullet blows up on a heavy boned animal you lose again. Bullet performance is more important then a tight group, unless your killing paper.
I usually decide on a bullet and powder and load up 5 different groups of 3 to 5 shells. I start with a min load and go up by a 1/2 to a 1 grain more for each group. Go to the range and see if any of them are any good. If that doesn't work I try a different powder. After a few trys I might try a different bullet, thats how I work up a load.
