I would personally go with the Nosler 260 Accubonds as they can be had as seconds for 15.95/50 which is similar in price to many of the other cheap bullets. They can be driven upwards of 2900fps in a H&H and are also accurate.
I prefer Winchester brass. For me it has been more consistent in weight and a little harder.
where do you get the Accubond seconds?

IdahoCTDI have shot the 270 Hornady spire points in my .375 RUM but only on paper. As I was breaking in the barrel shots 4,5, and 6 went into .235" (shots 7 and 8 went into .066").

idahoelk101I use the 300 grn BTSP by hornady in my 70 stainless and they shoot better than me (less than MOA). I have not shot any game with them yet but have every intention of useing them for elk this year.

Hauptjagerthanks, good prices. I take it that you like the Nosler bullet better than the Hornadys? why is one better than another? do you find the SD of the 260 gr (.264)to be much of a weekness compaired to the 300 gr Boat Tail Spire Point (.305)? just trying to get a understanding.
