Re: Berger, Nosler or Sierra Bullets
I use Sierra, Nosler, and Hornady bullets without prejudice or preference.
There has been a constant natter on this site over the years about an elitist nitpicking disdain for the major producers' manufacturing tolerances.
Get this; nobody makes perfectly consistent bullets, and if they did, nobody could afford to buy them. The production reject rate would drive their retail prices right out through the top of the stratosphere.
Furthermore, none of us practical shooters, and maybe a bunch of the BR shooters too, can provide equipment and skills to conclusively demonstrate that the current commercial production standards are priority number one, or even number two, on the list of primary bullet dispersion origins.
This is a big world, with bunches and bunches of constantly varying condition, most of which we cannot even begin to quantify, let alone alleviate, which affect our bullets' flights.
I'd say offhand that someone who worries about such things must have a very solid lock on their equipment and skills to be pointing the blame for inaccuracy on the leading bullet producers.
It's not the bullets, and it's usually not the gun that generates the misses.
It's just pain little old us.
