My cheap little 223 is reasonably accurate Will print the same 11-13mm group at 100m day after day with cheap hunting ammo.

For me the most versatile is the humble 223. For a while I was getting the steel cased Hornady training ammo for $34/50. When I couldn't get that it was the brass version for $54/50. Reloading at under 50c a round including primer, powder, pill.
