I decided about a year ago to learn lead vs being acoustic cowboy chord guy. First thing I started working on is increasing speed and technique and I saw a few YT guys suggesting thicker, pointier picks vs the thin strumming I have been using, so I started using Dunlop Jazz 3's. Things are going well so far, I think. I'm definitely seeing some gains in better technique, speed, and accuracy, but I'm going through these things a lot faster than strumming picks. I'm wearing the tips off these things and they get dull and rounded pretty quick.
Is this what you guys are using? Is this normal or does anyone have some suggestions on some that hold up better? I dont mind doing a power buy and stocking up, but I dont want a 100 picks laying around I'll never use if there is something better out there. TIA, any suggestions appreciated!!

but I love 'em, otherwise. Got a thicker black Dunlop this week, that doesn't say wtf it is, other than "Dunlop J III". Actually dug through the local store and grabbed 10 different flavors, the "unknown" Dunlop, the V-Picks green "Small Light", the Dunlop Tortex and the two different big stubbies are in a battle to the death, atm. They all have a different attack, different thickness, etc. Grab a bunch and try 'em.
