Big Country- You bring up a good point about bullet velocity, fast does not always equal accurate.
From my experince with reloading rifle ammo I might have used Honady once or twice but tend to buy Sierra and some Speer bullets. By comparison in my .300 WM both do nearly as well.
But I know a few varmint hunters that love the smaller dia. Hornady' s in .223 and .22/250 re-loads.[&:]
