Nobody likes to see prices go up on anything they buy.
But when I go out plinking, the cost of my ammo is less than I would spend at the movies. I don't plink with premium ammo.
I normally fire only two or three rounds during deer season, and that puts all the meat in the freezer that we can eat.
When I go hunting, the cost of ammo is, by far, the cheapest part of my season. I grew up with Nosler Partitions. Even though I agree that it doesn't take a $1.00 bullet to anchor a deer, I use Partitions anyway. Why not? Since the bucks where I hunt can field dress between 200 and 300 pounds, I have the confidence to take a large bodied buck at less than perfect angles, I haven't recovered a Partition since 1969, and the buck's haven't expressed any complaints.
I can't find any good reasons to switch to Barnes, but for those who use Barnes, I don't believe the sale will affect anybody's hunting experiences.
