I go along with the theory that you should shoot whatever your rifle likes. It never ceases to amaze me how different rifles like different ammo. My 30-06 loves Hornady Interbonds in 160 GR. It also shoots Federal Fusion's 180 gr. nicely. The last Elk that I shot was so close, I could have shot it with a BB Gun, but the Federal Fusion did the trick and they are reasonably priced. I have not seen much difference in the High priced ammo than hype. I have shot over the years a lot of Deer, Elk and Hogs. If you are loading yourself, the price should not be too big an issue, so go with the consensus is on this thread. A lot of knowledge here.
