I wasn't aware the shenanigans of GD and team required you to own one. I have been saving for over a year to get one. Congratulations on your recent purchase, but if you have posted nearly 9000 times and still have no idea what you should be shooting you still get a

VG, check out the AR15 forum here, inside there is a subforum for ammunition with a lot of great info on which ammo suits your needs best.
Just remember, a .223/5.56 is a straight cased cartrige. This means if you shoot steel cased ammo first, be sure to brush your chamber before transitioning to brass. Stuck cases are a bitch sometimes. Ask me how I know.

You can't go wrong with M193, and it's getting cheaper all the time. Ferderal, or Prvi Partisan. I buy it in bulk from Palmetto State or AIM usually. PMC has never given me any problem, either. I went through a few cases of Centurion .223 when it was cheaper than M193, and it was good range ammo. |

By your post count and join date, I can tell you're new here, and obviously don't know your way around the site yet, so I'll help you out - though I recommend taking some time to browse the tech forums yourself for more info.

Quoted: congrats OP,whats the specs on your rifle? Ive shot federal xm193 out of my AR and it seems like good,plinking ammo at a good price. i bought the armalite m15 a4 carbine upper and got a delton lower. the price was right on both and got good feedback from friends on both brands. Ill probably be swapping parts to whatever whim the xperts say is tha bomb until I find my ultimate rifle but it's a start. |

I browse the tech forums but don't look much into things I dont own and 7.62x39 rifles don't really need a lot of tech. just pull trigger . I look forward to all the expensive and complicated bullshit I have gotten myself into with the AR platform. |
