Ok, go out and buy a beer, $2.00 or more. Buy a soft drink or cup of coffee, $1.29 or more etc. My point is, quit being so damn cheap on the bullets you buy!!!! If a bullet costs a dollar, toughtitty, BUY IT!!! If it performs well, prevents you from losing deer or tracking them for hours, kills the game more humanely etc buy the dam n thing. Please consider all of these things before you complain about the costof a bullet. Since my ML is sighted in, I might shoot 2-4 bullets each yearto check accuracy and tweak as needed, then 1-2 bullets on deer in the field. So, a whopping6 bucks for a potential 100 pounds of meat. LET'S GET IT TOGETHER FOLKS!!!! Quit complaining and find something that works well for you. Buy some and be thankful they work as well as they do. (Off my soapbox now, thanks for letting me vent, lol). Greg
