Default Does it matter?

I took some test loads to the range today. I used a rest and shot 3 round groups then a dozen or so more to get a feel for the rounds. I had 8 I was trying with different powders and what not but of all the loads it seemed that the Hornady rounds did the best performance. I loaded some Berry's and some Mag-tech. The rounds where all pretty similar but the Hornady just had better groups as a whole. I can not tell you velocity I don't have a chrono and I used the same gun (cold) for all the shots. I would shoot the 3 then let is cool and start over.

Is there any validity to one bullet being that much better than others???

Imo hornady makes one hell of a bullet. I use the xtp a lot.

I was using two XTP loads...they were just fantastic....I had some regular round nose 230gr that did well also a Honrady load, but the XTP man they were on a string!
