RE: Bullet Manufactor?
The best load is a tough question but has to include how it shoots in your rifle. The best and fastest load on the planet is worthless if it won't hit the Mark. Hornady makes a number of good bullets but their loads ( factory ammo) is limited and they don't load for all calibers. Federal uses many companies bullets such as Barnes, Nosler and Speer just to name a few. Remington makes a good load with their bonded corlockts but again they make only some of the many available cartridges. I quess because of the wide range of components that they use, Federal may offer the widest range of calibers and loads of different qualities, Somewhere in there, they may be the best.
Your gun will tell you if you try enough loads.
