It's been a while since I checked, but I've noticed that Big Green and Winchester want a pretty price for some of their rather ordinary bullets, i.e. Core-Lokts and Power Points. Since I've never gotten the accuracy from factory ammo that I get from my hand loads, I've never devoted any development time to the bullets they use in it. I haven't hunted with factory ammo since about 1998 or so, and apparently factory ammo has come a long way since then, but I'm in too deep now to go back.

These days, I seem to be using mostly Nosler products, largely because of their good performance, but also because Nosler offers really good support in the form of load data and even a ballistics app that makes it really simple to figure trajectory and energy for their bullets. My recent discovery of the availability of blems at really good prices is icing on the cake. I still buy selected bullets from the other guys, but Nosler gets the majority of my business.


What fresh Hell is this?
