The cheapest bullet for long range shooting is going to be Nosler Custom Competition 175gr BTHP bought in bulk. The old M72 match 173gr FMJBT just won't shoot as tight. The various 168gr BTHP offerings out there don't shoot very well past 800 as they don't handle the transition to subsonic very well.

Good luck shooting.
