In my 40 years or so of handlonding and hunting, I have never found a so called premium bullet that was any where near as accurate as the standard Sierra, Horandy, and Speer spitzers. . . . |

That, too, has been my experience in the past. Then along came the Barnes TSX and changed everything. Here is the premiere hunting bullet that has been as accurate or more accurate than any match grade bullet in my experience. If any has a past history of fouling with the X bullet or lack of accuracy, the new TSX is certainly worthy of another try. |

8-O I don't know what many of you consider a "Premium" bullet as compaired to a "Standard" but I have found that the Nosler BT (which I consider a Premium) to be very accurate and in many cases it will outshoot even a "Match" bullet. There are numerous Match Shooters that use the Nosler 125gr BT out to 300 yards/meters due to its lower recoil and its unearing accuracy. I have weighed many boxes of bullets and have found that the Nosler BTs are one of the most consistant bullets on the market. Many of the other "Premium" bullets do not have the ability to be as accurate due to the many variables inherent in their construction, ie. dual cores, steel cups, tungsten inserts etc. When you add these items and or steps in the construction you induce many areas that may have an effect on the accuracy of the bullet. |
