In Scandinavian hunting magazines a premium bullet means a bullet with controlled expansion. What I would call "semi controlled expansion" bullets like Lapua Mega , Hornady Interlock or others are just called standard bullets.

Of course some premium bullets are "better" than others,(Perhaps we should call them Super Premium bullets?), or in other word lose less weight and penetrates better, the same can also be said about standard bullets - some are better than others.
