Everybody seems to market low cost ammo now so I'm not sure that anything constitutes a "promo" anymore. The only less expensive ones I have not been happy with are Herters and they pierced primers WAY too many times. Maybe they just don't like Perazzis. There is the onus of bad patterns but I suspect that even if that is true (and what is a "bad" pattern) the skill level if most shooters will never feel it. As a friend in Oz told me, "the poorest factory load is still better than me." And the patterns I've shot with the low-cost Feds, Rems, and Wins have never given me any reason to not shoot them.
