Does anyone know of any 60gr+ ammo suitable for training/practice use, that is about on par in price with M193 ($.30/per)? My rifle likes the heavier stuff a bit better then 55gr, so I wanted to see if I could be shooting heavier projectiles while still keeping ammo affordable. As of right now it won't shoot Wolf so I'm looking for other options until I get that fixed.

The Hornady TAP practice ammo seems like a good enough idea, but it's still at least $.40/round...more then I care to pay. And that's for the 55gr......

M855/SS109 62GR's....




Palmetto has PMC and Fed/AE for ~325/1k including shipping.

990 rounds of SS109, 62 grain, for $259.99. $0.26 per round; $5.25 per box of 20. Brass. Reloadable. That's about the best price I've seen.

I shoot steel a lot so no steel core, please. Steel jacket is fine, though.
