Exactly. For the guy who is primarily a deer hunter and uses a 7-08 or 260 and gets a chance to bear, moose or elk hunt they would be far better off paying 30 cents more for a premium bullet and using it in the gun they are familiar with, than spending $1,000 on a new magnum rifle and optics for a one time hunt.
