Always had good luck with Hornady.

It is true that long, slender bullets have the edge in Ballistic coefficient but I can tell you that the 168 grain Sierra Match Kings are the darlings of the 600 yard bunch. When a bullet gets heavier, it can't increase in diameter, so it grows in length. The longer bullets have better ballistic coefficient.....true.

It's interesting that the 155's have a better BC than the 168's. I wonder why?

Likely the taper of the boat tail comes into play.
155's fly faster than 168's too.


Tapatalk sent it.

Hornady has been the best for my pistol reloading.

Barnes has been the most accurate in rifle. Last batch I was averaging .3" groups. Too bad they flat out are unreliable for hunting.

Unreliable? How so? I've found the Triple-Shocks to be the most reliable that I have ever loaded (and most accurate as well).

curious as well, i see lots of guys swear by barnes for hunting.

He may be comparing the Barnes "match" against the Barnes "hunting" bullets
The jackets and bonding of the cores are different between the two categories.

Was just curious. The barnes Triple-Shock and Banded Solids are all I load now for hunting because of their ability to knock the **** out of what I aim at. I stopped shopping around once I found em. Devastating in my book.
