Personally, I like the upper end bullets...especially for hunting. Right now I have Lehigh, Barnes, PR's, and Bloodlines on my bench. Sure, I'll shoot cheaper bullets all day long at targets, but when it comes to what is in my rifle on a hunt, I don't care if it cost $5 per round. I need 1...and want it to be superb.

Penny wise and dollar foolish are the folks that use cheapo bullets for hunting, imo. That 1 component is the least expensive part of the hunt. Hunting isn't a cheap sport...even if you own your own land. Guns, clothes, licenses, lease, atv, etc..you name it - it all costs alot. Don't skimp on what's important.
