Yes well put. For the once in a year hunt I have no probs forking out a buck or more per bullet. That's a good point.
But for things like feral pigs and goats, and smaller deer, it would be interesting to know if a bullet like the Deep Curl could do that run of the mill type game, be your practice bullet and also do the biz on the raking shots for large deer like reds and sambar.
I suspect that expectation might be hard to achieve.
I shoot premiums for elk and Hornady SPILs and BTSPILs for everything else.
Regarding "big" stuff with Fusions/Deep Curls, you definitely want to revert to the old non-premium rules; use heavy bullets and don't push them too hard. I'd shoot an elk or sambar with a Fusion/Deep Curl .308 180 at 2700.
