Most of us reload. If you only get ONE CHOICE, what is your favorite bullet? Not one for each caliber, or each game species. All you get is one bullet that you have to reload for the rest of your life.
Mine is the 440gr WFNGC hardcast from Cast Performance through my 500JRH. (Granted, it isn't the logical choice that I would make if I REALLY had to choose only one bullet from now till the day I die, but it IS my favorite!)
What say ye??!!

Right now I'd go with the 250 XTP in my 45 Colt, followed closely by the Nosler 120 BT in my Waters.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

If I don't have to buy them 410wfngc from Cast Performance for my 480 Ruger. If I have to buy them the same thing cast myself. I want to be able to afford to shoot!

260 grain Nosler Partition; 45 cal.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

The 300gr FA bullet that they don't make anymore. Currently the Hornaday 300gr XTP mag, until I test the Cast Performance 300gr gc this summer.
