Just a caution... I probably wouldn't buy any one ammo in bulk right off the bat. I'd buy a smaller amount of a variety of different types for testing... see what your gun likes best then stock up.

Well, you don't until you try.

I'd just go to cheaperthandirt.com for now and sort the 5.56 target ammo by price. Read reviews and order a few boxes of a few different brands that get good feedback and give it a shot.

Also keep in mind the weight of your bullets and the twist of your barrel... I believe some of the more aggressive twists don't like the heavier bullets, but I'm no expert on rifles. You'd have to ask Darren.
