Free: Contests & Raffles.
Practice with the cheaper stuff mostly to verify basics of rifle configuration, form, and execution. Then finish with a small set of the expensive stuff to confirm zero and verify form and execution. Reloading will be mentioned, but these days, that may not be so easy, given the availability of some components.

This.Corelokt will get you on paper and hopefully, inside the 8 ring.Then, shoot the good stuff OUT OF A COLD BORE!This will emulate the actual shot you will take while hunting.
The answer for me is to reload and shoot my hunting round. Shooting another round means you miss all of the data on drop at different distances under different conditions and wind drift. That is probably 80% of the reason I practice. I can shoot a .22 or a 7.62 if I only want to work on mechanics.I shoot Barnes TSX, $0.75 a round plus $0.15 in powder and $0.025 in primer adds up to $18.50 a box for the best ammo for my gun money can buy.
