What bullets to reload?

[Bullet Hole Bailey]

I am trying to decide on what bullets for varmints and small game to reload.
I cant decide between Noslers, Hornadys, or Sierras. If there are any opther that you think are better please let me know!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What caliber are you going to reload for?
I have a 204 ruger I reload 32 gr V-Max Hornady's and they work great.

Once you get started reloading, you'll end up trying several different bullets. All of those companys make fine bullets. Pick one that has bullets that are constructed for the apllication that you're planning on using them for and in the weight that will most likely perform best for the twist rate of your barrel.. In other words, if you're wanting to splat prairie dogsor whistle pigs, go with the most exposive bullets, usually ballistic tips or V-max construction in the weight that will most likely work for your gun. If planning on shooting slightly larger, heavier boned critters, might want to pick a soft point or a heavy jacketed hollow point, again pick the one that will most likely perform well out of your barrel.
If you asked 100 different guys which bullet they prefer, you'll likely get about 100 different answers, all of them with "thier" reason to back up thier choose.

ok...thanks guys....

i have tried the ballistic tips and i like the way they perform but i am looking for a bullet that will explode prarie dogs and then be able to turn around and dump a coyote with the same load.

I will be reloading it in a .223
