Nothing wrong with spending extra dollars for hunting ammo if it improves your chances of a clean kill. All three bullets are up to the job as far as terminal performance goes. If the Hornadys shoot betterI would use them despite the cost being higher, I think that is the responsible thing to doas a hunter. That being said my 06 Savage shootsCorloktsbetter than anything including my handloads so far and that is what I will use this season.
