Most Accurate Traditional Hunting Bullet?

[MagnumManiac]

I have 2 that have always performed, the Nosler Ballistic Tip and Speer Hot Cor…don't know why, but many different cal and weights of Hot Cor will send all bullets into a ragged hole with very little trying. The great thing is they work very well on animals too, and I have never had one not do the job.

Cheers.

I've had really good accuracy from AccuBonds, Ballistic Tips, Partitions, and recently the ELD-X and EOLs (not sure if those count though). I personally gave up Nosler except for the stuff that I have still sitting on my shelf.

Nosler ballistic tips have been great for me, averaging .5 MOA or better. Same with Accubonds. After having achieved great accuracy out of 115 Berger Hybrids in my .25-06, I was very pleased to have it perform as well or better with a 117 Sierra Gameking. My .243s also do well with 85 grain Sierra gamekings, and it's nice to use them dual purpose for both groundhogs and deer. I'm shooting most of them out to an average of 300 yards.

Accubonds have been very good for me.
But the last two years working up a load for Federal Terminal Ascents I have come to believe they are as good!

...hunting is not benchrest shooting despite what those who claim to shoot them in the eye at 800 say...a well constructed bullet that will stay together and penetrate from any angle consistently is needed...my vote, plain Jane ho-hum Nosler Partition is without equal in those departments...

Nosler ballistic tips . Hornady SST

Another vote for the Speer BTSP and HotCors. 30 caliber 165 or 180 with a reasonable charge of 4064 wouldn't set a chronograph on fire but darned if they don't shoot little bug eye groups and drop animals fast.

Many are capable of shooting better than those doing the shooting!

Speaking for myself…..the way that they perform on game far outweighs a few tenths of an inch difference in group size!

I had repeated bad experiences with a bullet that was supposed to be designed for large African game …….superbly accurate but I honestly think it would come apart on a Prairie Dog!

Accuracy alone is not the absolute measure of a bullet's worth! memtb

Sierra Gamekings are very accurate and also have good performance on game.

While the accubond is probably my favorite serious hunting bullet, I have killed quite a few deer during depredation hunts with Hornady Amax and Eldm. Particularly at 308 and Grendel speeds. We are not shooting heavy deer, basically all does or hogs and these bullets work great for that. I wish Sierra had just put a tip on their regular gamekings instead of reinventing the wheel with the game changer. Not that the game changer is a bad offering. I just couldn't get it to shoot well. There is one bullet that I have killed more deer with than all the others combined and I'm sure this won't come as a shock. I had a tang safetied Ruger M-77 in 270 win that would drive tacks with 130 grain Remington Corelokts. That combo and 30-06 150 corelokts has killed hundreds for my buddies and me. Lately though, I have run some over the chronograph that the speed has been way off. Very slow. Hopefully Remington will get it back together.

GameKings & ProHunters have never failed to impress me! BallisticTips have always been darn accurate & SST's are accurate also, some better than others, but all these are different calibers & weights, 2506, 270's 7mm's Various 30's
I'm waiting to try the TGK's
IMO BT's & SST's over 3000 fps & Bone make big holes & separations. 7mm's @ 27-2850 They perform Great!
