She said I was wasting my money when I stocked up 10 years ago. Problem now is that the use of the cheap Eastern Bloc steel nosed ammo is banned -- even at the NRA Range, which says that the ammo messes up the bullet trap wall behind the targets.

You may be wise to reserve your superior steel point ammo and buy some less desirable (ironically, more expensive) copper jacketed ammo for target shooting.
