Favorite plinking loads

What are y'all's favorite plinking loads for the BM? I'm looking for something relatively light and cheap that will still work the AR action.

I load them on top of lighter charges of 4227 for about 14-1500fps.
Here is average accuracy @ 100.
Not as good as jacketed, but plenty fun and accurate for tin cans, clay pigeons and rocks.

Are you shooting these through a bolt gun or gas gun. I've read hereabouts that the gas port on auto's will wreak havoc with plain based cast bullets, or even gas-checked if the check is not tall enough. BTW, nice looking boolits. I PC too.
