[QUOTE="Broz, post: 961021, member: 7503"] These days the designations on the label mean little to me. What I find more important are these factors. Which bullet can I place the best? This also includes BC and which will drift the least from wind or other environmental conditions. How does it perform in game when placed well in conjunction to the way I hunt? Also to include terminal damage and wound channel and how far the animals can travel after shot. I want them down and do not want them to leave the immediate area. Especially when they may have a 1000 yard or more head start. How many have taken a second shot? Follow ups are always a part of our plan if needed but I can not honestly remember the last time we needed one. Sometimes this might not be so easy if the animal is not hit hard enough to hold him to the immediate area. Maybe we are lucky , maybe not, but my 300 win is at 22 and 0 for one shot first round kills on big game from 200 yards to 1285. All this with a bullet label that says "Target" So I only consider the bullets I shoot at targets to be "target bullets". The ones I choose to hunt with may not say "premium hunting" on the box, but yet they are labeled by me as "premium killing" bullets. Only after they prove to do the jobs I need them to do when I do my part. No bullet is perfect at all distances or under all circumstances. Most labeled "premium hunting" were intended for use at closer distances than many of us hunt. Some may not expand when used as a long range hunting bullet. Maybe we should label those as "reusable premium bullets" ? Find what your gun likes, and what will give you the best odds to place in the vitals under any situations. Then understand how it works best to your personal advantage. Stack the odds in your favor, practice, and do your part and enjoy the table fare. That my 2 cents, for what it worth. Have a great hunting or target season! :) Jeff [/QUOTE]
