IMHO, I would say performance outweighs cost if I were only to shoot but 2-3 deer per year if you are gaining the performance you want or need. And 2 boxes of shells are cheap when you break down the cost of fuel, tags, clothes, food, and time spent doing what you enjoy!!!!
***Ditto that! Why would anyone want a "cheap alternative" when they have a proven component?! Ammo is the cheapest part of a hunt if you sit down and think it out. Stay with what you are getting good performance and save a dollar a week for them!
