Understood, but I'm not talking about competitions as the destination. More of a means to an end. A high round count is very useful to hunters, target shooters, and competitors, alike. When did we stop suggesting that hunters should practice their marksmanship as much as possible in the off-season in order to increase and confirm proficiency in the hunting fields?
It's more for some, less for others, but a point that is apparently lost on some of the clowns on this particular thread. My personal "round count" of dead animals is in the hundreds (culling big game), and many times more than that including hogs and other vermin. That's where the rubber meets the road in my world. Unless I'm doing load workup, sitting at a bench punching paper is very boring. Longer range targets and dialing is another matter.
