On the other hand, the excellent performance record of the "classical" and fairly simple long-n-heavy-for-caliber round nose bullets shows us time and again that they are all that is needed for many (not for all !) common hunting situations. So, very few people need to have a bad conscience about choosing less-then-"premium" bullets, as long they they place their shot well enough, and with deliberation.

A premium bullet will not make up for a poor shot nor poor shot selection. It seems some folks feel that buying the higher priced spread enables them to "arkansas" away in the general direction of the game and it will fall dead. And, of course, a bigger rifle is a guarentee. Hit the animal in the foot and kinetic energy will blow his ears off.

The middle ground works very, very well on deer AND elk.

If the bullet matches it's specs to the velocity it will be used at it will be effective. The bullet makers have spent a lot to prove they will work as designed and they will make recomendations. Testing the load you are wanting to use before-hand will give a much better understanding of it's characteristics than just judging based on good sales pitches.

The above quotes are very wise words.... So before you go run to the cash regester with those high dollar premuims, think about whats been said here today..

Mauser kid uses bullets that work, not bullets that cost to much. That way I can keep food on the table, and shoes on are feet..

Thank you for your time.
