1 MOA off the bench = perfectly suitable to practice positional shooting for across the course.
At 30c-35c a round (what it has been going for, prior to this week), it also doesn't break the bank if I get too busy to handload and still want to get enough practice in. Generally fire about 5,000 rounds a year in practice, plus another 1k in matches. Which works out to a $150 a month budget for ammo, if I wanted to shoot only factory SS109.
Guess I'll be handloading more. M193 shoots like crap in my AR, it doesn't like 55 grain, so I'll need to roll my own 62 gr from now on.
