There's good logic on both sides of that discussion.

If you shoot a given rifle only at big game (and thus don't shoot it much) you might well stick to a single weight and style of premium bullet, or even two styles in the same weight. That'd be all you'd ever need, and you'd never have to stop and worry that the gun is sighted for the "other" load. Call this the "Old Faithful" method.

But if it's a gun you shoot a lot, then you may well work up loads with a variety of less expensive standard bullets. Light ones for some uses, medium ones for some and heavy ones for still others. There's the disadvantage of needing to re-sight a lot, but you did ppan to shoot that gun a lot anyway, right? Call this the "Golf Club" approach: having a load for every conceivable purpose.

It wouldn't be out of place for a guy to use both methods. None of us have only one gun in the safe do we?
