For me it has been the TSX in most of my calibers.

Since my loading career began (all of about a year ago) its been the TSX and TTSX...FACTORY-wise though, that $13 box of federals power shoks I picked up at WM on a last minute decision to go to the range.

Should add the Accubond usually groups tighter in my rifles than the NBT.Not by much mind you.

Sierra's and NBT's are usually what I shoot for accuracy tests... or match bullets. The Noz 155-gn match bullet was crazy accurate from a heavy .308 I had, and Amax's seem to do very well based on my limited shooting-for-groups that I've done with them.

I usually fall back to sierras if I have questions and I want to rule out bullets. They have shown me some of the best accuracy I have seen from a number of rifles. I have had good results and (some not so good) from nearly all bullets but they have been pretty darn consistant for me.

I doubt there is one bullet more accurate than any other. As long as they are made with reasonable QC they will be as accurate as you are if you fit the load to the firearm. That is case prep, reasonable accuracy in powder charge and seating depth so the the bullet leaves the barrel in the same place in it's elliptical path every time. If the bullet leaves at the top of bottom of the elliptical path it will strike the target in nearly the same spot.

That is a big part of why we reload. Instead of finding the right factory loaded cartridge we can fit the bullet and velocity to the game and then load to fit the firearm we are using to the best accuracy.

My results are a little different. I lived in the shadow of Nosler for many years. About an hours drive to their shop where I could get any I wanted. I like V-Max a hundred times better. Liked the sound the make when they hit a varmint. Got incredibly tiny groups with them but I could get the same with my home swaged bullets in many sizes and shapes. Maths the powder and seating dept any almost any bullet will make tiny groups.

For varmints the V-Max or the ballistic tip,for game like deer usually the core-loc has been a good performer for me.

.243" diameter, 85-grain Sierra hollow-point boat-tail. I've owned about six rifles chambered for the 6mm Remington and that bullet was consistently accurate in all of them.

Mine also. Many, many years ago Jarrett said that if one of his rifles didn't shoot to his expectations with Nosler BT's, he would bring it back to the shop to figure out what was wrong with the rifle.

LBP: For "factory" bullets I would have to say the Berger 52 grain 224 bullets really stand out in several of my Rifles.
For "custom/hand made" bullets my Rifles show that the Euber 68 grain 6mm bullets (moly-coated) are tops.
These two bullets have given great accuracy in all the Rifles I have shot them in.

My best so far is a 65 grain boat tail in 6mm by Brady Knight.
My buddy I shoot with has his best with a 68 grain by Don Lahrs.
I've been wanting to try Allie Euber's but I have another 500 Knights to shoot up.


Now if you bought some of Brady's .22 bullets. My .22 ppc puts them in a tiny little hole. I've gotten my smallest group of 0.05" with his bullets.
