Well Woodyed,

You are correct, most of the time.

However, if you hunt long enough you WILL see a bad shot, making one or seeing one.

Now maybe this is because you or the criter moved at the instant the trigger broke. Maybe it is because the angle was bad. Whatever, but when it does, that is the point at which the ".60" cent bullet looks very cheap while the ".19" cent bullet just cost you your critter or at best only a lot of meat distruction.

Many people will tell of how well brand "X" has done for them over their entire hunting life and I'm not going to debate their results.

I am simply stating that I have hunted more then long enough to see a number of shots which went bad for whatever reason. Shots taken by other folks, and yes a shot or two by myself.

And when it happens, bullets of premium quality can save the day or a lot of good meat.

Bullets are what they are, and as such perform to level for which they are designed.

The choice is certainly that of the hunter/reloader, but it still does not change the facts.

Keep em coming!
