That green box has always been a good one for me. I mostly shoot reloads now, but a plain vanilla cup and core bullet is all I need for whitetails in NC. I use Sierra a lot, some Hornaday too.

Boys...need to ask Savell on this subjuct. He know it takes a new fangled high do!let bullet to take a trophy. Got to be sponsored by at least 10 different folks. Lab tests are critical and years of development. Just can't use any old off the shelve stuff to take a trophy... Come'on man...

I used to shoot the PSP Remington bullets. But, I changed to loading the Barnes X bullets for my 30-06 and 300 WSM. They had better penetration and perfect mushrooms with no bullet weight loss.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

Here in France, I used to be able to buy Norma ammo for my Swift and it shot well. After I couldn't get that, I bought Remingtom PSP in the same grain weight and they shoot almost as well. I've never missed a fox or a roe buck because of the bullet.
Nowadays here, the shipments of US ammo are rare, so I'm being stingy with my Whelen ammo, but I loaded up on Remington for my 270 and the Swift.
Sometimes I wonder if some of us are overly concerned with sub MOA accuracy. Unless you are a 600 yard elk guy.
