You got a point, Arizona... my problem is, I get anal about plinking at the range and I find it frustrating when I can't hold a group under about 1.5" - 2" with most of the M193 or M855 stuff, much less the even more random PMC or bulk FMJs of dubious quality. I feel like I'm just pulling the trigger to feel the recoil (which isn't totally unfulfilling)... it's so much better shooting the hand loads and really hitting what's under the reticle.
If it was 30 years ago and I was a starving student, I'd worry more... but now I can afford shooting better stuff, so I do. I'm lucky in that regard.... plus, hand loading to me is more than half the sport, so I'm not just loading to save money.
I'm off topic. Sorry. I'll be quiet now.
