Really anything from 300 yards in for combat or defense, using a knights sr15 16" carbine with 1:7 twist rate. For its price I have heard pmc m193 55gr was as good as any others, but I wanted to get and updated answer from everyone else. While the high dollar stuff ( black hills, etc) will probably perform better, was thinkin at a closer range it really won't matter?

I like the PMC XTAC 193 ans 855. For my everyday shooting it's always worked well and @ $8.17/box it's cheap enough to shoot.. Cheers.. Ron

70gr TSX (brown tip).

The above is expensive. So another good option is bonded ammo from Federal/SPEER.
