Indeed. I went through a stage where I absolutely had to shoot nothing but Tenex and/or Gold Ultra Match, and I was merely shooting vintage target rifles for fun (and a fair amount of silhouette). I came to my senses, and found that range time spent testing lesser flavors of ammo was just as much fun, not to mention finding accuracy to be virtually as good.

Don't get me wrong, when I need to hedge my bets (such as informal friendly matches to determine who buys the beer) I reach for the top shelf stuff, even though I know in my heart I'm probably wasting my money. On second thought, maybe I shouldn't do that. It's probably cheaper to just buy the beer.
