First Freedom--The cartridges you reference come to $1.05 EACH!!! Not counting s&h! Holy H. Smoke!

And you need to practice with 'em before hunting. That doesn't mean 3-4 rounds and that's it, that means shooting enough to be accurate with 'em. Say 20-30 rounds at a minimum.

(You can' chintz there--You owe it to the game for a humane kill. You owe it to good sportsmanship. Most of all you owe it to yourself.)

Boy, if THAT won't convince a body to start handloading, I can't imagine what would.
