I'm looking around for some online bulk 5.56 and I don't know what to get or stay away from.
I usually buy American Eagle because its the cheapest brass cased ammo and sold in bulk ammo cans or bulk boxes.
I can't really say anything good or bad, except that it is inconsistent. Every now and then I get a huge fireball for muzzle flash, and most of the time I don't.
How are these brands: Prvi Patizan, American Eagle, PMC, IMI, and winchester white box?
55 grain mostly needed so I can shoot at indoor ranges.

I'm looking at mostly SG Ammo, let me know if you have a better website to get from?

sad to say it but IMI and Prvi are my goto's and in that order.  They are both imported.

I buy IMI M193, PMC XTAC M193, and Wolf Gold 223.

You can get 1000 rounds of Wolf Gold for like $320 shipped at Target Sports USA, or like $325 shipped at SGammo.  Both are great companies imo.

Is Prvi Patizan the same as PPU?

Thank you.

I usually buy AE-5.56 and WG, but am thinking about picking up a couple of sealed battle packs of PPU.

GECO 5.56 55gr has been very accurate for me.
One of my gun consistently shoots 1.3MOA 10rd groups at 100yards.
Other guns are about 1.5-1.7 MOA

As for other brands, accuracy wise, best to worst:
Wolf Gold
Federal
PPU
IMI
Winchester
