Understood INRecordBookBuck. And I shoot 95 grains GOEX under a 250 Deep Curl in a Harvester Short Black sabot for less than half of that $1.38 a shot - and knock the snot out of a whitetail out to 200 yards.

But Palehorse's question was what is he getting by going the premium route. I maintain that he would be getting the satisfaction of shooting a bullet/load he likes or has confidence in. But from the standpoint of effectiveness at normal ML ranges, it's a wash.
