I'm not a fan of super duper ammo. I really see no need. Last fall I took my elk rifle (Model 70 270 win, 150 Hornady pushed by 50 grns of 4350) not a hot load but I dont like if for deer. My grandaughter had my 257 roberts. I shot a doe with the 270 and above load, neck shot that damn near took its head off. All with cheepie components. I dont think it would have been any deader with barnes or noslers.

As far as my heavy guns. I shoot cast bullets in my 416 Rigby and 458 Win. I make my own jacketed bullets for my 375 H&H.

I dont believe you need fancy high price bullets, you can always shoot even the big guns cheaply.

But hey, to each his own. Somebody is buying them.
