I use to use Winchester Silvertips but have since quit using them. They blow up when they hit a deer and don't always exit. I lost a decent buck due to lack of exit wound and blood trail.

I have since switched to Federal Premium Nosler Partitions and nearly every deer drops in their tracks now. The few that have run don't go out of sight.

Like you, I shoot just enough to keep the gun on target so a box of ammo lasts me for several seasons. Makes it easier to absorb the cost of the premium ammo.

Fusion ammo has worked really well for me in my 30-06.

I shoot the better Hornady Custom 100 grain shells in my Browning .243 Rifle,the Remington Core-Loks in the Daughters .243 Rossi,I use the Remington Core-Loks in my 30-06 and the Winchester 140 grain Power Points in my 7mm-08.
