Well its a hunting cartridge for shooting Big Game, out side of developing a load or two, how much are you going to shoot it? a few dozen shots a year? There are less expensive cartridge to shoot for range practice. I shoot a 7mm RM these days, for my pre season practice, I hunt squirrels with a 22, I can shoot 40 of them for a seasons limit, I try to do it will a box of 50 cartridges or less, head shots only, best tune up for hunting big game that I know of and good eats and fly tying material for my trout fishing to boot, a win win!
