I fully understand the reasoning of using good ammo when the intent is to shoot things that need shooting...but to use expensive ammo to shoot holes in paper when cheaper stuff is available just makes more sense...especially for those not made of money.
No one is suggesting you use Hornady or Federal Match ammo for plinking, but maybe not use bottom-of-the-barrel, underpressured, steel Russian ammo. Just maybe some Federal, Privi, or IMI XM193, or Fiocchi 55gr FMJ. All fairly cheap (I just saw Federal Lake City XM193 for $270/1000K at Brownells.) Not as cheap as some of the crap out of Russia, but certainly not "premium" priced.
