[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1874364, member: 110773"] Agreed. I’ve often said that most bullets will work most of the time. My concern is the rest of the time. I use” premium” bullets because I’ve had unacceptable performance with standard bullets, never with premiums. By “premium” I mean TTSX, AB, ABLR, A-Frame and Scirocco II. Pretty much in that order of frequency, too. I said there are “at least two” I trust. I was contrasting the extremes in my mind – unacceptable and excellent for my needs. I use Hornady 95g SST in my .243 Win for antelope and have worked up Nosler 129g ABLR and Hornady 143g ELD-X loads for my new 6.5CM. The 95g SSTs work very well for antelope and I expect the ABLR and ELD-X will do so as well. The only Sierra bullets I use are the 200g FP in my .375 Winchester. I also use Hornady XTP in my .44 Mag for hunting. Do I accept all the marketing fluff from these or any other manufacturer? No. But I do have enough personal experience to validate my choices.
