For practice, m193 will be fine. If you happen to find someone with some steel they won't be real happy with you shooting it with steel core stuff.

As for the flavor of the month in best SD ammo, the new trend seems to be anything loaded with barnes bullets. The 53 grain is gaining alot of attention. Seems to offer the "whole package". If you wanna go for the heavier loadings, make sure your barrel will stabilize them before you make a big purcahse.

1/7 is good to go for heavier bullets.

For plinking i look for whatever brass ammo i can find in 32 cents per round range. For stressfull situations I stock up with xm855.
