You are correct in this line of thinking, and you have done some valuable research.
I happened to hit a closing sporting goods store over 10 years ago that
was closing out some seldom purchased Hornady bullets. I think I got about 8 or 10 boxes
of both 348 and 33 WCF 200 gr FP bullets.
Now I have used those, Alaska Kodiaks , North Fork, and Hawk.
I like the 200 gr bullets because they are designed around the Model 71s
capabilities. I don't think you need premium bullets always.
The 200 gr Hawk bullet is amazing if kept under 2500 FPS.
Andy Hill just sent me a box of 200 gr 338 FP for my 1886-gratis.
I have bought enough over the years of Hawk bullets-they work.
No one else has done that among the manufacturers. One does not need 250 gr bullets for every
animal one hunts.
