I vote for 7.62x39mm for recreational plinking fun, plus the option to do some hunting.

- 7.62x39 is the third-most affordable ammo type in the world.

- If you're willing to do the cleaning maintenance on your barrel, you can get corrosive bulk 7.62 x 39 ammo for 30 cents CAD per round (which cheaper than .17 HMR!). Just make sure to rinse and wipe down your barrel after every plinking session with those perchlorate primers.

- For bagging venison: you can upgrade to bougie Hornady Black ammo ($2.50 CAD per round)

- I've not tried them, but there are subsonic 7.62x39 loads available, too.

30c for the Surplus, 50-60 for non corrosive norinco and barnauls (when we had it) and then 1dollar for brass European ammo.  Tons of options for x39, love that caliber
