Good questions. It would have been more precise to say "practice" bullets, because that's what they're for. I want bullets that are comparable to the heavier bullets I'll use for hunting, but I don't want to practice with Swift A-Frames because of the cost. I already have a light bullet load for reduced loads, but these bullets are for practicing with full power loads. The nature of my practice is much like plinking, though, because much of it is off-hand and from field positions, rather than from a bench.
