I get top notch accuracy out of my Savage Mod 12 using 55 grain Hornady V-Max with 25.0 grains of H-335, and a CCI 400 Small Rifle Primer. COL of 2.250 With bulk Winchester or Remington bullets I get OK accuracy.

V-Max, and Nostler Ballistic Tip give me .25 MOA with a bipod, and sand bag.
Bulk bullets give me .75 MOA with the bipod and sand bag.

I agree for the most accuracy go with a better bullet. H-335 sines through with 55 grain bullets in .223 Rem with either bolt action, or Semi Auto.

Bulk bullets work great for pliking loads in an AR, they will acceptable results at a low cost. For tack driver bolt action loads go with a better bullet.

My most accurate load is a 75 grain Hornady HPBT Match bullet loaded with Reloader 15. Varget gives close to the RL15 but not quite as well.
