Honestly, that is a guide with whom I would never do business. Pinching pennies on shooting range ammo - when you're slinging hundreds/thousands of rounds downrange throughout the year - makes sense. Doing so on ammo that you're relying on for a quick humane kill of large game, and that you'll likely fire no more than a box or two of each year is just foolish.
While we're singing the praises of bonded bullets (a song I can certainly hum along to) let's not forget the copper-alloy solids. I now hunt exclusively with handloaded rounds tipped with Barnes TSX variants, and can't say enough good things about them.
