[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1975916, member: 67552"] In a scenario like this the other thing to remember is from most expensive to least you will only notice the difference. A wild cat you need to fire-form for will, at least at first, cost nearly double in powder, bullets, and range time if you have to drive a piece to shoot. For others if its the 7 mag at 98 cents a shot and the 300 ultra at 1.04 a shot for like bullets the extra 6 cents a pull just doesn't make any practical difference. You still have to get the time behind the gun with that load at distance and it will cost $400 or $418. Now If this comparison were run to specific components and you started taking hi end premium bullets Vs. cup and core you might see a noticeable difference. A .40 Cent bullet against a $1.00 bullet may bring you from $400.00 prep to $620. Again, if you have the time and gear invested in making yourself a legitimate 1000 yard elk threat, that extra dough is probably in your couch cushions. Thank God my wife doesn't read this stuff.
