For years I hunted in places where the chance of seeing something really nice was pretty slim. Now I've got the opportunity to hunt where the good ones roam. I don't want to have to pass up a shot because the angle is marginal, or lose that nice one because I don't get a good blood trail. Good bullets narrow the odds, especially when shooting something a bit on the light side like a .243.
Those SPS bargain NPs are just the thing. I especially like finding the overruns because they come in a box instead of a bag. Just picked up some more 100gr .243s and 160gr .277s.
In my .308 I've been using 165gr BTs. For some reason, neither deer I shot fell until after a run of 80-100 yards, even with excellent shot placement, massive destruction in the chest, and big exit holes. Just one of those things, I suppose.
