I load up 150-200 rounds for most rifles, more for the 223. Like to have 300+ of handgun rounds for each caliber. The guns I have more than one of, I do as Aboltfan mentioned in that I load up a factory equivalent more or less that shoots well in all of them. I have not yet had an animal killed with such ammo complain.
Most of my shots at big game are well under 200 yards. I have no interest in shooting big game over about 450 yards. My longest shot ever on big game was an elk at a lazered 342 yards. You do not need 1/4 inch groups for those ranges. I am more than satisfied with anything around an inch but I do have a few loads that will shoot about 1/2 inch if I do my part.
