The other side of all of this is that FAR less accuracy than most handloaders think is necessary will consistently take big game out to 400 or even 500 yards. For some reason, we've become convinced that a load that shoots 3/4" 3-shot groups at 100 yards is vastly superior to one that shoots, say, 1-1/4 inch groups.
True but if the chosen bullet shoots better and is substantially cheaper, why go with any premium when it's not needed to kill your animal?
