Personally I only use premium bullets for hunting and for me the cost wouldn't come into it, obviously within reason. For me a premium bullet is a weldcore and I use Woodleigh Round Nose Soft Nose as well as Protected Points, both work superbly every time and I have never lost an animal when using them. In the past I have also used Speer Grandslams and found them to be very good. For practice I use Bertram bullets which you wouldn't hunt with but are great for practice and cheap to boot.
