Hence my issue in general with premium ammo. Guys run the cheapest stuff they can find through their rifle for practice, or worse - they zero it only and DON'T practice - then they use the stuff from the fancy box to hunt with.
Sight in and practice with what you're going to hunt with. If you can't afford to run at least a box or two of the stuff through your rifle over the course of the year, then it's not the ammo for you.
As I stated before, CoreLokts, Power Points, and whatever Federal's calling their old Hi-Shoks now have never failed me. Put the bullet through the boiler room and your quarry won't know the difference between standard and premium ammo.
