If so, you should have SPS on speed dial so to speak...  . I'm always amazed at the guys that say they "love" Nosler, but have never heard of SPS. I only buy blemished and seconds from SPS as well. You can buy better bullets (partition vs. Hornady interlock or Sierra gameking) for the same or better prices through SPS... SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSSSSSSSS Geez....how any times do I have to tell you guys......

Wish SPS would send to Australia. Ballistic tips run about $45 a box here. Partitions $80.
Edit: make that $90 for a box of 180 grain 30 cal partitions. Sheesh!

For me it really depends on the caliber and what my rifle shoots best. Generally, Nosler, Norma and Barnes all work well for hunting purposes and, pretty much in that order.
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.

Just have to be a little smarter when choosing the bullet and load for the game you are after... Pretty simple.. It is simple....DONT USE A SIERRA Seriously though, not much of a bullet when you have to use caveats.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Like so many others, I use everything that is available. That way I always have an excuse to go to the range to check out a new bullet or powder or primer, or etc.

Nosler and Barnes here. Ballistic Tips and Partitions from Nosler are usually 2nds. or overruns. TTSXs from Barnes. Those three do all that needs doing.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I'm mostly a coyote and deer hunter. Favorite brand used to be Hornady but since they've dropped some of my favorite bullets I've been putting more Noslers on the shelf.

Sierra 140gr 6.5mm Gamekings and 140gr 7mm Prohunters have given me the best performances on whitetails. No penciled through holes or blow ups that didn't exit.

Mine is Sierra, and not for the reasons you may think. When everyone else is loading for zombies; plastic tipping; and trying to perfect monometal, Sierra has left their line relatively unchanged.
There are a ton of people who liked a Nosler this, a Hornady that, or a Speer Deep Something...but those are not made any more.

Now if Hornady would just re-replace the forming dies and get the .308", 150 grain flat base Interlock ogive back to the correct shape.
