    Real BH Mk262 in everything with a 1/7 or 1/8 barrel. Both for practice and game time.

    LC M193 in everything with 1/9 or 1/12. Both for practice and game time.

    I buy and store these two loads exclusively; and have purged my ammo reserves of everything else.

    CBC/Magtech 77gr OTM aka MK262 clone ammo.

    Practice with whatever, at close ranges the impact is within a few inches. I did get a lot of Prvi 69/75 that I shoot as well.

    I'd look into the lighter loadings of the TSX round for a short barrel based on what I've read of how they perform from shorter barreled ARs.

    I like the proven 64gr Gold Dot for 14.5" or longer. May also be usable for a short barrel, but I don't have data on that.

    I use 75 grain gold dot as well. It's my coyote and deer round so I have quite a bit of it around. It's a good shooter and does the job.
