Cutting Edge Bullets LAZER
Cutting Edge Bullets' LAZER line earns a best-in-class slot for heavyweight monolithic copper match work thanks to lathe-turned precision, ultra-tight concentricity, and availability in custom heavy weights that target shooters favor for long-range wind-bucking performance. Compared with the other solids on this list, LAZER balances premium machining-level accuracy with a price point that undercuts some boutique match offerings while often delivering lower run-to-run variance than larger production brands.

Hornady CX
Hornady's CX monolithic design is a market leader for heavyweight match shooters because it combines Hornady's industrial-scale quality control with an ogive and meplat profile optimized for consistent BC and repeatable vertical dispersion. Compared with smaller makers here it is more widely available and usually offers better retail pricing and aftermarket support, while trading a little of the boutique finish of lathe-turned bullets for proven, competition-ready consistency.

Review Summary
"Hornady CX bullets get good marks for durable monolithic construction and repeatable accuracy, though reviewers say they are more hunting-oriented than pure match bullets and can show slightly more BC/velocity variation between lots. Generally reliable and good value for shooters wanting lead‑free heavy projectiles."

Barnes TTSX
Barnes TTSX solid monolithics are a market-proven choice for shooters who want rock-solid construction and a wide selection of heavyweight profiles; their one-piece copper alloy delivery resists deformation and gives predictable ballistics under repeated shooting. In the heavyweight match role Barnes competes on durability and sectional density rather than micromachined finish, offering a cost-effective, rugged alternative to the more finely tuned lathe-turned or boutique match bullets on this list.

Review Summary
"Barnes TTSX receives consistently high praise for uniformity, excellent weight retention and predictable long‑range performance; many target shooters report very tight groups and outstanding terminal consistency. The main negatives are higher cost and that they require careful load development for best accuracy."
