I'm right there with you, wanting a little more zip. Like you said it doesn't mean better accuracy but it makes it fun...especially when you figure out the "sweet spot" for a given rifle/bullet/powder combination. As you experiment more and more you'll figure out how to get both accuracy and velocity. It's fun...and I hope you're not getting into reloading to save money
! You will shoot more but probably won't really save any money...but it's totally worth it
