As far as the expensive bullet goes, price does matter if you are going to go through a couple hundred every year. I know you can shoot cheap and hunt with the top end bullet, but the change in POI can be a PITA ( especially if there are a half dozen rifles to rezero and confirm come september) and if you have one load every shot you take all summer long is validation you rig is all set to go for the season
I go through thousands a year, bulk packaging, shooters pro shop, and powder valley are my friends. I bang away with ballistic tips, matchkings, or Amaxs/Vmaxs. I hunt big game with Barnes TTSX's or accubonds. I don't have a problem changing scope settings, that's what the twisty/clicky things on the top and side are for. I don't shoot my big game rifles that much though, the bulk of my shooting is .223, 22-250, and 6BR and those are cheap to shoot.
