Not necessarily a waste. The Hornady Interbond are 60% more expensive than the Amax, have a lower BC, and accuracy along the lines of the SST, but they are a GREAT hunting bullet.
It's very possible that Lapua did not intend for the bullet to be used in a long range paper application, but rather for hitting extremely hard out to a few hundred yards and retaining weight.
I have a couple boxes of SST's and about 1/2 box of Interbonds. I rarely shoot them, but when I am going to tromp around the woods I take them with me.
