[QUOTE="PGJPJ, post: 1274884, member: 90674"] I'm in no way an expert. In my experience (maybe 12 years of reloading for hunting rifles, not competition) I found that there are certain bullets that will work for almost everyone. But there will always seem to be an exception, where they just won't seem to work for someone, and they need to move on to something else. But for me, Nosler Accubonds or Ballistic Tips seem to do well in just about everything I shoot. Same with many of the Hornady bullets. So, see what most guys like to shoot and give it a try. It will most likely work well for you. If not, there should be a second bullet that everyone seems to be shooting, and try that one. Most likely you'll find something pretty quickly. I'd like to know what the physics behind a barrel not 'liking' a certain bullet. Might have something to do with the ogive, and how the chamber is cut. Maybe it has to do with the crown, and if a bullet has a boat tail. I'm not totally clear on that. But it seems to happen. :D [/QUOTE]
