We think much alike Mnt monkey. Townsend Whelen said only accurate guns are interesting. (Im thinking you know who he is) Same for bullets. If they aren't accurate they're not worth having. Accuracy I agree is the first and foremost criteria for a bullet. Put it in the right place and the animal is terminal. And I did use a hollow point in my 270 Winchester to kill my largest deer. A 12 point in Lake City Michigan. He did run his 100 yards but the blood train was quit sufficient.
But accuracy is up for interpretation. For my muzzle loader a tennis ball size group at 100 yards is sufficient. For elk hunting I wanted my 338 to hit tennis balls at 300 yards. For my 243 for groundhogs I need gulf balls at 300 yards. Thankfully there are enough bullet choices out there for a guy to keep looking for what he needs until he finds it. And yes, if it works price is not an issue.
