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?

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.

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!

There are all kinds of ranges there big guy. Some are muni's, some public, some resort some private, etc.

The vast majority of places people practice, the ranges dont use Pro V1s, etc.

So per usual...you are showing us your lack of knowledge.

When I say public that’s what I mean, not a club, a muni. I use pro v’s and practice with pro v’s, but I can.
You continue to lie to yourself if that makes you feel better.

all of this is rubbish. Plenty of steel casing being shot on ranges all over the country by "competition" shooters. Besides, what exactly is cheap ammo these days?

Hmm... when the constitution was written there were cannons and all sorts of nasty weapons that were legally bought and sold, which were capable of mass carnage. So this cartoon doesn't make much sense to me?

That said, if the point isn't really about finding a solution to gun control; and is more about finding ways to use a tragedy to project one own moral superiority over those yokel (neanderthal-like) gun owners- than great job e!

Americans Can Still Buy Cannon | National Review

Cannon are legal under federal law and in most states. You may have to jump through a few hoops to get one, but get one you assuredly can.
