Least favorite would be the ballistic tips, but this was in the early 90s and they are reported to be better built bullets now. The 405gr hardcast out of my 45/70 was the most impressive The 165gr Sierra GameKing has time and time again shot accurately out of multiple rifles and given top notch field performance from multiple angles, distances and media encountered.
