[QUOTE="RangerBrad, post: 547922, member: 29387"] So do you buy store bought ammo of diffrent brands (hsm berger 115gr, hornady superformance 117 sst, winchester 120 gr super x) find which one shoots best then build around that bullet weight? Seems that if you built loads around those diffrent bullets you may end up with alot of bullets you would never use? What got me thinking about this was I just went to the range today and shot several rounds from several diffrent manufactures. Some groups were barley ok while others were horrible sometimes out of the same box. I thought to myself that all that shooting was telling me nothing because these same bullets may act completely diffrently with diffrent seatings and at diffrent velocities, that what I really needed to do was pick a high bc bullet then work on charge and seating depth but as you just stated I've often heard that you need to pick the bullet that works best in your rifle but thought they were always talking about buying manufactured rounds for folks that don't reload. Thank's, Brad [/QUOTE]
