Cheap practice ammo...

[mad_angler]

I really want to work on my shooting.

This is a great post that gives some good pointers.
PRACTICE

The post gives a good test to gauge how well you shoot in the field. It is 20 shots at 100 yards. I figure that I can do the test about once a month to track progress and identify areas to improve. Then, I can work on each shooting position between those tests.

That is a lot of shots... and they can be at 100 yards (to start)...

I'm wondering if I can use cheaper ammo for this training? Ideally, all practice would be done with my hunting ammo. But at 100 yards, does it really matter??

Use cheap practice ammo. As long as it is properly zero’ed, and not substantially different group sizes from your hunting ammo, it gives you the practice you desire.

Cheap for practice. Good ammo for confirmation and the real deal.

Cheap ammo is great for working on shooting fundamentals.

The Sabres group with my hunting ammo at 100 for half the cost.
