I was given a bit of advice a long time ago when all the expensive "instead of lead" shot came on the market. I was remarking about how expensive Bismouth and other alternatives were. My friend looked a me and pointed to my truck, boat, dog, gun, decoys, licenses and calls. He said:
"Boy, with all the money you have invested in your hunting hobby, the cheapest thing you will do all day is pull that trigger. If there is something better on the shelf, buy it. Make everyshot count"
Having said all of that, there is nothing that makes up for practice at the range making careful shots. I'm looking at the Outlaw bullets but for some reason, the guy has not called me back (HINT). I can tell you that I downed three deer this past year with the 125 NPBT traveling around 2250 FPS. They are terminal for sure.
