Good placement doesn't guarantee desired bullet performance, even if that bullet and load have been used satisfactorily many times previously.

Likewise, cheap insurance does not provide a guarantee - but I do think the premium bullets I use increase the odds of satisfactory performance - regardless of range.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
