While I would tnd to agree with you, im not going to bash the guy for it. The lat 5 years have been incredibly difficult to get any particular hunting ammunition. More than once i settled for what i could get. Thats how 2023 saw me shooting a turkey with xpert #4 steel.
Worth it is subjective. There are two camps here:
First is the "I have all this time and money in hunting, I want the best odds possible"
Mine is the "any old shot kills fine".
Ive shot two turkeys with steel duck loads. One was while duck hunting with an Improved Cylinder choke at 30 yards...
