1) Ever run in to someone who fires nothng but premium defence ammo in practise?
2) Hear someone put down a specific brand of ammo and then when quesioned about it state, "heck no I would never shoot that cheap stuff, but my brother in law told me..."
3) See a clerk behind the counter give the "Dont ever shoot steel case ammo out of your Glock, it will ruin it."
You take four or five brands of practise ammo out and shoot and evaluate it, you use what works best and is the least expensive. It's two opposing curves and when they intersect thats what you practise with.
The Doctor in #1 shot premium ammo because someone told him "always practise with what you carry." I guess the didn't take in to account this guy wanting to shoot IDPA twice a month.
The Yokel in #2 was selling ammo at a local gun show and was in my opinion cashing in on the unwary or unknowledgable.
The Clerk in #3 admitted he didn't even shoot, but was selling a couple ammo based on ....you know I really don't know where a nonshooter gets that opinion.
If we offer guidance and not rumor and second hand information we can get more folks in to the shooting sports. Not scare them away.
