That's a good question. There are a couple of ways to think about it. First, it seems a little late to be "experimenting" with new ammo this close to deer season. Using that logic, I'd stick to my known ammo. However, it's certainly o.k. to try new stuff. Personally, I refuse to use "cheap" stuff be it ammo, scopes or even rifles (for that matter). My bottom line would be to say don't use the cheap, bulk ammo for anything other than target practice. That's my $.02.
