[QUOTE="palerider3, post: 1675606, member: 82117"] Don't buy cheap stuff to practice with unless you're just practicing positional shooting at closer ranges and you find cheap stuff that shoots good for you. Your practice will only be as effective as your rifles mechanical accuracy is. Practicing with a 2 moa cheap ammo is only a waste of money and won't help you any more than dry firing. In fact, dry firing might be better. Don't worry about it having the same drops as your hunting ammo. Just set a second profile in your ballistic app and run that for practice. Then switch to you hunting ammo before the season, verify your zero and drop chart and go hunting. I'd look for a deal on some 168-175 match ammo and run that for practice until you get set up handloading. [/QUOTE]
