You may be right rost, I just can't believe I have tried two boxes thru numerous guns with less than stellar results. And it seems so common. Its all in what the feller wants to invest. If he's like me and likes to tinker and has money to go every week to the range, and just shoots to see the results, then you are absolutely correct. But from his post, I got the feeling he doesn't like to spend money on shells just for the hey of it. And wants his best bet.
