Just get the M193 (I like Q3131A) and it will do you, your gun and your wallet fine.

2 to 3 years.....too  funny I wish I could make a 1000 rounds last 2 to 3 weeks.....I get the XM193 for target and plinking, and for the ever elusive coyote I like using anything that has a Nosler Ballistic tip... Hornady 55 grain V-max or Federal P223F 55 gr Nosler ballistic tip, soft points are ok  but the ballistic tip really does a good job of stopping them damn coyotes in their tracks and leaves a nice hole.

If you want to save some money and get a good hunting round go for the Silver Bear 62 grain Soft Point.  Should be able to get 1000 rounds delivered to your door for $135

For your purposes it sounds like the cheap 40 and 50 round value packs that Wal-Mart sells would suit you just fine. A 55 gr SP would probably be a good choice. However, the ballistic tips might be a bit more effective and accurate. But you did say cheap, so get the SP's.

I like the 40 and 50 round value packs as well, but soft points aren't that cheap (around $17 for 50 round value packs around here, as opposed to $10/50 of the FMJ). YMMV.

If your going to use it for hunting use Soft Point ammo. Don't use xm193, unless you wan't to eat bullet fragments.

M193 should do it.
