Joel Park discusses defining effective practice ammunition, emphasizing cost and availability as primary factors. He advises against training with ammunition significantly softer than competition loads, as it can hinder adaptation to recoil. Conversely, training with hotter loads and then switching to milder competition ammo is acceptable. For rifle training, PMC and Winchester 55-grain FMJ are recommended for their value, while steel case like Wolf is noted for lower recoil compared to XM193.
