Reynolds, you are absolutely right, but I target shoot with the same bullet I hunt with - not being a 'formal' target shooter. That Nosler Ballistic Tip is a very accurate bullet. I don't feel the same about the Partition. Never can seem to get them to shoot tight groups. I go through a lot of bullets, though it isn't thousands per year. It might be a thousand or less for me. And...heck, it isn't like I can't afford the premium bullets, but I just guess I'm too cheap to do it.

And, though I only shoot 2 deer per year, I'm hunting pretty much all year around for pigs and coyotes. I just loaded what seems like just yesterday and put together 100 rounds of 260 and it's already time to replenish my ammo pile. LOL, where do the days and the ammo go....?
