JJT.....why shoot unless you're going to "care enough to send the very best"
About four years ago I bought a box of 50 200 grain swift A-Frames .308 caliber. I never shoot more than a few a year.....I practice with much less costly Hornady 190 grain interlocks that shoot roughly the same as the Swifts. At the current rate that $42 box of swifts will last another six years.....that's about $5 a year.......I don't think it's all that costly.
Last year I shot two of them.....two dead whitetails for the freezer. I think anyone that reloads can afford the best hunting bullets and it's really not that expensive if they're "metered out".
I also shoot "premium" bullets in all my guns over .30 caliber when hunting including my .404 Jeffery. I spend a fair amount of time finding a compatible bullet for practicing however and I certainly don't use "buck-a-piece" bullets for shooting carp in the creek.
Deer hunting and for that matter pronghorns as well don't require much of a bullet and further the hunts are relatively cheap. However when one shells out $3,500 and more for an elk, caribou, or moose hunt.....or even an African hunt I want the best bullets I can get.....and Swift, Nosler, Barnes and the Hornady interbonds are those bullets. The overall cost is actually peanuts!!!!
What bullet?? 270wsm
