Accurate ammunition!
You know the stuff that shoots best in your rifle.
I reload every centerfire I own, except my SKS, but does that even count?
For rimfire it’s based upon what shoots best in the given rifle.

Both my '06s seem to shoot Hornady SSTs well.
117 pill in the 25, 165 in the 30.
But the rest of the rifles don't seem to care much? Maybe it's just me?

My favorite ammo by far is the ammo I reload.
120GR TTSX for my 7-08 and 165GR Acuubonds for my son's 308
Nosler Vamint BTs for my 223, 55GR

Hornady . Just seems they make a round that works pretty well in all the calibres we own including .22WMR.
For our handguns, whatever bulk is on sale when I’m buying.
RWS for .22 rimfire as well as pellet (the one area which I’ve competed in).

Federal if buying across counter and reloading hard to beat Hornady.

The only favorite factory ammo I have is Eley for my rimfire match rifles .
As for centerfire , I rarely use factory ammo at all, but when I do it is whatever I have handy, none of it works as well as my hand loads , but it will all kill animals or hit steel
reasonably well

I load my own centerfire, using Barnes TTSX for the higher velocity big game loads, for lower velocity, I like the Accubond, for varmints and target, I like Sierra.For .22LR, I prefer SK .

Centerfire rifle: federal blue box groups nice for me and folds critters up
22: remington thunderbolt since that's what the semi likes to eat
Shotgun: score slugs and buck, whatever target loads are on sale/cheap
9mm: liking the bdx 124gr for the PC9, good prices and being Alberta made is a big bonus.
Won't touch winchester rifle ammunition anymore, have had nothing but problems.

For my centerfire, Federal Premium with TSX. My rimfires like CCI SV or Velociters.

Depends on what. Self defense I do like the Speer Gold Dot and Federal HST. Hunting I like Accubonds. Plinking whatever is cheapest!

For many years we used the cheapest factory ammo we could get.
Started reloading a few years ago, together with my boys.
Using mainly accubonds now.

I shoot very little factory ammo but I have bought some over the past few years to get the brass. Weatherby Select 100 grain in 257 Bee is fast, 3600 fps, and 1/2 MOA capable. Sellier and Bellot also make very good ammo that is accurate, goes 1 MOA or less in every gun I have tried it in and some it will do under .7. Have used 7x57, 22 H, 7x57R, 7x64R and 9.3x62. I used some Privi 30-06 hunting in Hungary and Germany and out of the Blaser rifle I was using it would do 1 MOA with 180 grain loads.

More and more handloads and less and less factory ammo - especially when it comes to the Weatherby. That said I will attest Nosler Trophy Grade 110 Accubonds. Paid a premium but that ammo shot lights out every time.
