Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Workhorse bullets - in each line, which ones shine?

I’ve had good luck with handloaded Sierra GameKings, Hornady Interlocks, Nosler Ballistic Tips, Nosler Accubonds, Nosler Partitions, Swift A-Frame, and Barnes TTSX. In factory loaded ammo, I’ve had good luck with Federal Blue Box and Fusion. Fusion has shot well enough in several of my guns that I don’t bother handloading if there is some available.

I’ve never used any other bullets or loads on game. My hunting rarely results in really short shots or really long shots. So, between 100 and 400 yards with elk being the biggest game I’ve taken, I’m not really sure I’ve ever really put a bullet to the test. So, my sample size may be more of a statement on how easy deer are to kill vs how well the bullets performed.
