What is the most accurate bullet in the factory xp 100 7mm BR in your opinion. Thanks, Bruce

The good news about the 7BR caliber is that there is probably not a bad bullet - some are just better than others. The Sierra 150 and Hornady 154 are great. If you are going to encounter high cross winds go for a higher ballistic coefficient such as the Sierra 168 or even the 175 for those very windy days. The RCBS bore rider cast bullet is excellent if you want to cast or buy them from Leadhead's Bullets Leadhead's Website Here.

I hope this helps!

the 3 best bullets I have used have been the hornady 154 SP, 154 SST and the sierra 150.

I mainly use the 154 SST for 500 Meters and the 154 SP for standard ranges. the added benefit is the 154 SP is cheaper than most bullets on the market.

also, I use IMR4895 in all my loads.

I have always had good luck with the 139 and 154 grain Hornady bullets. Nice thing about them is you can use one seating depth for both since they both have the same ogive. Makes it easier to use the 139 for C, P and T then just seat the 154s for rams. I even used the same powder charge for both bullets but I have been accused (rightfully so) of shooting wimp loads. Don't forget the 7BR is a great cast bullet cartridge too. The RCBS 145 and 168 grain moulds are perfect for the BR.

Thanks to all for your help. I dont shoot matches here in eastern PA. But LOVE the bolt action single shot. I recently shot some lower power loads with 168 sierra B T. Had a 5 shot .225- 25 yard group with open sights. That is a feat with my 60 yr. old eyes. I have to shoot with reading glasses and a merit diopter to shoot open sights. The reading glasses sharpen the sights up and the diopter reduces the fuzzy vision at the target. Sounds like the 154 and 150 sierra would be worth a try.
