Ok... but what facets of a bullet are important —- Seems like some guys get it that bullets are important (at least if your shooting at a distance).
I actually agree with this that having good bullets does have a greater impact to your ability to connect with your target...
BUT - I also know that chambering & Cartridge choice also come into play with the person driving (meaning depending on the guy / gal running the rig) can make those important as well.
Simply put bullet quality is consistence to everyone... Rifle accuracy capabilty is consistent to the rifle - and shooting skills link to the shooter.
Not everyone knows your rifle is going to shoot .1-2 Mils higher then it did in the morning because it’s not 60 degrees like it was in the morning - that’s something you have to experience.
BACK to the Main subject—- Bullets what should one be looking for?
Before you ask - I like Vaportrail Bullets, Clay Spencer’s gear for bullet making was bought by them - There are multiple precision bullet makers out there... but few people seem to know
The voodo (it’s unknown) why those bullets perform better.
- Yep - I used Stick’s line on purpose..
So - What’s the lift of factors big to small - If you say “bullet maker” - go sit in the penalty box (we’re talking attributes of the bullet).
—.
First - it might be smart to split this into 3 Major categories ...
** Keep in mind there are cartridge (what drives the bullet) variables per category like velocity, neck characteristics, ..
A good account would also mention these linkages. ... but that ain’t the bullet.
1). Bullet characteristics / consistency that effect Accuracy / Precision
2). Bullet characteristics / consistency that effect bullet flight (drop & resistance to wind)
3). Bullet characteristics / consistency that effect terminal performance
Extra points - Indicate which variables have the most impact (remember we said ... matters more).
