I have never shot an animal , be it deer moose or bear, that died any fast with a "premium" than with a "non premium" bullet.
I've killed a mess of them with a pathed round bal in three different calibers as well, yet some "experts " say you need to use a Maxi ir minie ball for proper penetration, blah , blah, blah.
HORSEFEATHERS!!!
I've used Barnes, Nosler, Speer, Seirra, Hornady, most all the popular brands.

I shoot what works in my rifles, and on any given day may run into black bears, mosose, mule deer or white tails - I NEVER worried that I was using a cup and core bulllet or a patched round ball insted of a H mantel style or monolithic style bullet.
I was never one to worry about what I was shooting or shooting at, I try to concentrate on HOW I am shooting.

scopes are cool, but slings 'n' irons RULE!
