Not sure using your SAK as a target is a good idea.

I carry Hornady Critical Duty in my .40 and Critical Defense in my .38 Special. I really like Hornady ammo for carry.

In terms of ammo, the calibers I shoot regularly are hard to find from major ammo companies, with the exception of some long-established calibers like 7x57 Mauser or .303 British. Try finding 6.5x52mm Carcano or 7.5x55 Swiss in your average sporting goods store! That's where companies like Norma and Fiocchi come in. Their loads approximate factory ball, and in Norma's case, the cartridges are Boxer primed, making them easily reloadable.

I was thinking SOG would make good targets.

I think they all fell apart on the way to the end of the shooting range.

Nah. They got lost in the wilderness and never made their way out.

Indeed, finding ammo is a real big deal sometimes, at least for reasonable prices.

Many of the ammo that is not that common around can also be had by RWS (no idea, if this ammo is available in the US, but they do good job on their ammo). Mostly hunting ammo though, which means hunting bullets for hunting prices... so no big deal for shooting on a range.

7,5x55 mm Swiss is really hard to come by. Years ago they were even sold in bulk packs at about 50 pcs for about 40.00 EUR. Like the good cheap stuff for 8x57IS or .303Brit.

It might also be a regional thing, here in Germany it´s hard to get .30-30 Win. At least for range shooting. This really sucks.
But very common here are 9.3x72R or 8x57IRS for the hunting rifles like the good ol' Drilling, for example.
Oh... and 16 gauge shotgun shells are widely available here, not so much in the US it seems, even for Trap & Skeet are lighter loads available.

RWS make some pretty good air rifle pellets as well.

I have about 80 rounds of 7.5x55 loaded, along with about 200 empty cases.  It's an easy cartridge to load for, despite its name it takes standard .308"/7.62mm bullets.  16 gauge is a practically dead loading here in the US. The 3" 20ga can do anything a 16 can and more.  You sometimes see it in smaller shops, but it's far from common. .30-30, however.....

I carry Hornady Critical Duty in my .40 and Critical Defense in my .38 Special. I really like Hornady ammo for carry.

I like Remington Golden Sabers because they have a really cool name. Nickle cases, 100% function and good specs.  Out here at the farm, could probably just run ball in my 45 but the occasional trip to town warrants a controlled penetration load.

The ones in my gun are prob 10+ years old....Just recently bought some new ones to swap 'em out. 

Usually run 230's but bought 185's this last time.

Used to keep Glasers in the Highpower back in the gun shop days. A mag full of those would set you back some dollars.

Thanks.     Really like it.

Recently picked up a Beretta M92. Had good luck with them in the past, but this one groups about three times larger than the HK. Thought it was me, but it looks it's like the gun. May need to get a trigger job on the Beretta, or trade it in on something else. Any one have any experience with the HK Mark 23?

Do you hit much when you do?

And if so, is it the stuff you were trying to hit?

Glasers been many years since I've heard anyone mention those. They were expensive.
