[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 110094, member: 5302"] Years ago, Hornady match bullets weren't a uniform in two critical areas as Sierra match bullets; roundness of the boattail-body junction and accuracy tests at the factories. Sierra shot their bullet into smaller groups than Hornady could shooting Hornady bullets. Even Sierra couldn't shoot Hornady bullets as accurate as their own. I'd bet things haven't changed. Every once in a while, some top rifle shooter will try Hornady bullets, but ends up going back to Sierras. I tried some Hornady 168 and 190 grain 30 caliber match bullets in three different barrels. At 600 and 1000 yards, the Hornady bullets shot about 50% bigger 20-shot test groups across all those barrels. But if Hornadys are the best thing your tube's squirting down range, don't change to something else. [/QUOTE]
