I load for 9 different cartridges and have Hornady, Speer, Sierra, Barnes, Nosler, Lapua, and Remington on my bench. My favorite bullet manufacturer is Nosler. I think they have an amazingly broad and diverse offering of hunting and target bullets.

I use moderate velocity rounds almost exclusively so I'm usually pushing bullets between 2400-2800 FPS. I love the Ballistic Tip for those velocities. As the game gets bigger, I generally use a bigger bullet vs pushing one faster.
