Ammo Rebalance Project
The idea behind this mod is to rebalance the base game ammo, and also the ammo added in Cut Content Ammo mod. In my opinion there where some imbalances and power creep and I think these changes are a step in the right direction. I will keep tweaking the values if I feel that some are still off and I’m open to suggestions!
-1 damage to organic
-15% enemy hack defense
-25% enemy hack defense

+20% chance to shut down robotic units
-25% to enemy hack defense
+1 armor shred
+1 acid damage for 2 turns
Due to the amount of ammo types introduced, I highly recommend a mod that allows you to build the ammo separately instead of getting the random reward from the Experimental Project from Proving Grounds. If not, you might not get the ammo you want for a whole playthrough.
One of the best mods that accomplishes this in my opinion is [WOTC] Proving Ground Overhaul V2. Not only the quality of the code is top notch, but the way the changes are implemented allow for some quick but powerful edits by modifying configuration files only. You should also subscribe to [WOTC] PGO Bridge: Cut Content Ammo so once you get an ammo reward from experimental ammo project it will be buildable.
Another mod to consider is Experimental Item Unlock, it’s pretty good in what it does but requires a new campaign.
It should be compatible with anything and it’s safe to add mid campaign. If you use any other ammo rebalance mod, even though it won’t crash your game the changes from this mod (or the other mod, depending on load order) will just get overridden.
You are more than welcome to mess around with the configuration file and adjust the values of the different ammos to play the way you want to play.
By changing the values in XComGameCore.ini you can tweak the base game ammo values, and for the Cut Content Ammo modifications, you can tweak XComAmmoOverrides.ini. You can find both files in the config folder of this mod.
