Ammo availability is exactly why I'm getting into hand loading this year. My son's rifle shoots federal premium 95gr ballistic tips exceptionally we'll. I can now find all of the components, but the factory ammo is non existent still.

I'm also skeptical of the controlled expansion stuff. I changed to ballistic tip after a core lokt slipped though the ribs of a 150lb doe. The shot was perfect, but there were pin holes on each side of the carcass when I finally found what was left the next day...
