Partly true. A good rifleman can compensate for a crappy rifle or a subpar bullet, but then again he normally won't have to because you seldom see a good rifleman using either one. One thing a good rifleman always does is optimize his rifle and ammo. Besides, we're talking about bullets, not rifles.

IMO for smallish game like Coues or pronghorns at longish distances, placement is more important than using a "premium" bullet. For a shot like that, IMO it's best to use the bullet you've been banging steel with all year than to think you need a "premium."

There are some pretty good hunters here who regularly kill game with those tinfoil bullets.
