for hunting I use store bought I have handloaded a lot of pistol and shotgun but I am just not comfortable on my rifle loads to humanely put down big game. My uncle does 95% of his. I just don't have the cofidence when nosler loads the same bullets that I would load. A Barnes TSX or Nosler ballistic tips.

I've used both and I get a little better consistant accuracy with my hand loads from my rifle but since I don't shoot nearly as much as I used to I started just shooting store bought in rifle, hand gun and shotgun. As long as I'm putting three round in side two inces at 100 yards I'm happy with my rifle. I do more bow hunting than rifle hunting any more.
