The ammo that you should stock up on is whatever performs best in your rifle surg_res. My M1A started life as a loaded-standard many years ago and that rifle loved USGI M852 (168gr) and Federal Gold Medal Match. With most surplus ammo I could keep them in the outer edges of the 10-ring & some of the 9-ring. too. The only exception was Hirtenberger surplus ammo, which my rifle would shoot like a house on fire!

M118 or M118LR is best suited for extended ranges and at today's prices, it's awfully expensive to shoot at short ranges or for practice. But then again, so is the 168gr ammo too! I believe that the SA. Inc. barrel is a 1-11 twist rate, which should be fairly accurate with most ammo types. Try out several brands and see what shoots best.

Are you planning on reloading for your rifle?
