1) If you had to choose one source of low-cost factory ammo that would serve for all of your hunting needs for the next 5 years, which would you choose? And I'm thinking here of Remington Core-lokt, Winchester Super-X and Federal Power Shok.
2) If you had to choose one cup and core bullet for all of your handloading from antelope to elk, which one would it be?

Rem Core-Lokt for me and the Fusion ammo is my absolute favorite if its considered "low cost"

1.) Which ever of the three shot best in my rifle. I'm shooting the Federals now and have a bunch of Core-Lokts in waiting.
2.) Again which ever of the above shot best. You can get all three as components. The Federal being a Speer bullet.

2) If you had to choose one cup and core bullet for all of your handloading from antelope to elk, which one would it be? (1) I would probably start with Federal Blue-box. Fusion is also very good. (2) I'd start by looking at the Hornady Interlok.

If I could no longer reload and had to pick a low cost factory load it would be Federal Fusion

1) Probably go with cor-lokts but wouldn't really matter as long as they shot well.
2) I have a soft spot for Sierras and the one bullet would probably be a 180 SGK out of my 30/06.

Ive used corelokt,powerpoints,and fusions all with great success. I prefer the fusions followd closely by powerpoints
Rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

1: WW Power Points, I've never seen one come apart
2: Sierra HPBT GameKings if available in the caliber I wanted, Hornady Interlocks otherwise.

I bought 100 rounds of Norma Oryx .308 Win/180 gr a few years back at $10 a box of 20. I think Norma discontinued the particular bullet, don't know if you can still find it.
Second question is Hornady Spire Point (under the name of the day...
