I use a much cheaper, but similar shooting ammo for practice. The bullet is the most expensive component in your ammo. Don't need them for punching paper. For that matter, wadcutters are preferred.
The only stipulation I would make is that if your practicing includes quick reloading with speedloaders, pick a bullet type similar to your defense ammo for that. Wadcutters don't work so well in speed loaders, and semi-wadcutters work, but not so great.
