[QUOTE="popgun240, post: 1637635, member: 86838"] I agree, to many people DON'T use premium bullets, sole be cause of price. Again, circumstances won't allow me to hunt the High Country for Bull Elk, Desert Bighorn up in the high stuff. Since I'm a 100% Disabled Vietnam Veteran and an Amputee, I chose my Browning 300 Win Mag and load the Barnes 175 gr LRX-BT at just over 3100 fps Muzzle Velocity. If I wound an animal, I can't go chase after it. I had an AR with a DPMS 24" Hvy barrel. It actually put 5 shots into a single round hole at 100 yards. It's a legal Elk Rifle in Nevada but I'd never try to shoot an Elk with it. It had a Springfield Armoury 4x14x40 scopen the had a FFP reticle regulated out to 700 yards and hit targets at 500 yards with extreme accuracy. I'd never use it on anything larger than a Deer. It's that I still go with a minimum of 1500 foot pounds energy. I hunt open range land and shots can easily extend beyond 500 yards. So for me I rely on the 300 Win Mag with great barrel life and accuracy. Big cases and small bore usually mean short barrel life. I can't afford to keep replacing shot out barrels.
