For your prep ammunition reserves, what percentage/ratio do you aim for with respect to target rounds and tactical rounds?
A target/practice round in 9mm, for example, would be a 115 gr FMJ, while a tactical round would be a +p 124gr Hollow point round. Another example is a 55 grain .223 round vs a 62 gr green tip SS109.
Obviously, the target rounds are significantly cheaper and therefore easier to stock but also more flexible as one can use them for practice/training, recreational target shooting, pest hunting, and are acceptable for home defense. Tactical rounds, while much more effective for defensive purposes, are less economical to use for training on a regular basis; the scenarios for their use would be limited to actual engagements which tend to be (I hope) very rare.
