I found that the Nosler brass gave the slowest FPS. Hornady brass gave the most FPS. and weatherby, win, rem brass was in the middle. The point of impact was 1 inch plus at 100 yards. This was in several different cartridges also. Now I sort my brass as to manufacture and number of times fired.
for years- until Calif required non-lead ammo- I use 55gr SX Hornady bullets. I still use them when out of state. Mag primer and 27grs of Win 748 has been super accurate and explosive. Not I use 36 gr VG Barnes bullets. They work but I do not get the 3 pieces of the squirrel flying in all...
I have one that my dad bought from the DMC in the 1950's that cost $14.95 plus $3.?? shipping to our home. I wish I still had the wooded box it came in. He left it original and deer hunted with it. It has many memories for me. I also remember him taking it to work in the 1960's to get all the...

I do not use target bullets for hunting. I use real hunting bullets. Prefer Nosler PAR or one of the Swift Bullets for big game. If shooting ground squirrels I prefer the Hornady SX bullets or I would use a target bullet since it is not really hunting and just shooting were I do not care to take...
use same data. Basicly the same bullet in a different box for marketing purposes. This is what the guys at the Barnes booth at the SCI convention told me a number of years back
