What now Magoo?
 
In another strange twist of the story, now biker gangs are interfering with reporters on the scene in Uvalde. The bikers have told reporters that they are doing it at the request of the police.

 
Jammed bolt action is one of (select more than one if necessary)

Your lack of knowledge comes through again.

People buy the cheap ammo to go to the range or just out shooting with.

When you hunt you buy hunting ammo.
 
They dont make you any better or worse of a shot.

You may be referring to a follow up shot since they are semi auto. There have been other semi auto rifles that are not AR based on the market for decades.

24. Browning BAR Safari in .338 Win. (BOSS)
Browning BAR Safari in .338 Win. (BOSS)
MSRP:
$1,500
Chambered for some heavy-hitting, long-range calibers, including the .270 WSM, 7mm Rem. 7mm WSM, .300 Win. Mag,. .338 Win. Mag., Browning’s BAR Safari models are a long-standing favorite of big-game AR hunters. The Safari, some would say, is not only Browning’s best BAR, but among the world’s premier gas-operated autoloaders. The Safari features an engraved, forged steel receiver and a genuine walnut stock and forearm with a diamond pattern cut checkering. All metal is highly polished and deep luster blued, and the wood has a beautiful high gloss finish.

Advantages:
Many say the Safari shoots as accurately as Browning's ultra-accurate A Bolt and X Bolt rifles. The Safari's BOSS (Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System) enhances accuracy and reduces recoil by a third. At 8.6 pounds and 45 inches long (including its 24-inch barrel), the Safari in .338 Win. is not only knock-down lethal for big game hunting, but fast enough for targeting varmints in a fast-shooting environment. —J.H.

I will concede that your knowledge is broader than mine because I have never known anyone who buys cheap ammo. it's likely to destroy your aim, your weapon, and your reputation.

Also-- in my limited experience, the reason for going to the range is to sight your weapon in so that you are more likely to get a first-shot kill. Using different ammo for the range and the field defeats the purpose.

Tournament shooters load their own rounds so that they will have confidence that every shot will be pretty much like all the others.

But what do I know?

The opportunity for a quick follow-up shot is the only advantage cited in LE's AR-15 gospel. Paraphrasing my brother-in-law (who is always quick to dig some venison steaks out of the freezer when I come to visit -- I think he is subtly bragging), if you don't hit it on the first shot you are not going to see it for a week.

It's interesting to note that the accuracy is compared to bolt-action rifles.

Not much apparently.

You have not spent much time on the range, or just out in the desert/forest shooting for fun. If you had/have you will see people using inexpensive ammo all the time.

Cheap ammo doesn't throw off your aim. It isnt as accurate, but if you shoot right, you are going to hit right about where you are aiming.

Do you want to use it for hunting? No. It is the wrong type of ammo. Do you want to use it for competition? No.

Will it help you become a better shooter? Yes.

Will it damage your rifle? No.

Cheap ammo is generally dirtier and so you have to clean your rifle better/more frequently.

Not much by this statement.

What tournaments exactly are you talking about? Pretty broad statment.

Anyway , has nothing to do with the topic of

It’s kinda like going to a public golf course and hitting their range balls. Ok for a warm up but useless dialing anything in.

Another bad analogy.

The only way you can practice shots is to hit range balls.

And spending time at the range hitting those balls will absolutely improve your game.

Using bulk ammo and practicing will absolutely help you get better shooting. You can work on groupings, etc. Find out if your trigger pull is correct, etc etc.

It is obvious neither you nor espola actually do any shooting. If you did, you would know the value of inexpensive rounds.

Public course with beat up range balls usually restricted flight balls? Vs new pro v’s (or ones ball of choice)? I’m sure those old top flites are fine for your game. Lol!
