The last 3 columns indicate which non-highsec material is required to build them. an I indicates Isogen and N, nocxium. Blank indicates only the Highsec minerals of Tritanium, Mexallon and Pyerite are required. This may effect the ammo choices of hybrid users who also craft their own ammunition, especially if they mine the materials as well. Capital is not included as if you are flying one of these, you likely have easy access to these materials anyway.

Note that the range bonuses or penalties applied by these ammo types only apply to optimal range. If you're using autocannon, which have tiny optimal ranges anyway, your ammo's range modifier doesn't matter very much. It's more important if you're using artillery. This means that autocannon should always be fitted with the most damaging ammo possible, and if a ship has a falloff bonus, it's probably meant to use autocannon.
