To that there is no right or wrong just different perspectives of experience and enjoyment obtained.
Absolutely
My 6.5x52mm Carcano is the only firearm I have that I can only shoot the same load every time I use it, and that gets boring pretty quickly - might as well just buy factory ammo for it. Because of the over-size bore the only bullet I've gotten to work is the 160gn RN, and it needs a good thump to obturate to grip the rifling, so I can't even load it to different velocities. I can also shoot .243" bullets if I paper patch them or press them into half a .17WSM case, both of which are fiddly, but do let me use bullets down to 55gn.
If there were a rule that I could only shoot one load with a firearm I wouldn't waste my time with it. I've got a .277" mould now and have made a sizing die out of a 7/8" bolt to size cast bullets to .272" so hopefully I can get it shooting a whole variety of cast bullets at all sorts of velocities
I'm hoping I can also use .17WSM brass as jackets for cast bullets.
