RE: can someone post a poll?
I would like to see this in a poll form also.
I use Nosler, Barnes, Swift, Hornady & Sierra.
My target/varmit rifles all use Sierra bullets.
My hunting rifles decide what gets shot out of them. If Nosler Partitions group best in a certain rifle? Then I handload Nosler Partitions for that rifle. Same goes for Barnes, Swift or Hornady.
I never handload Sierra bullets in a big game hunting rifle. I only hunt with premium bullets. Do I need a premium bullet to kill a deer? NO I do not. I just sleep better knowing that my bullet will not explode on impact. I want controlled expantion & maximum penetration.
