5,56mm Lake City is cheap to buy. I load 223 rem for my bolt rifles.
I found some Winchester 45gr @ 3600 fps that shoot very good. My stop loading them.
No handloads for autos or levers? I don't think I have ever run a factory round through my lever guns. My hunting AR's have never seen factory ammo either. I also have never had a failure to function in my Colt AR's.
Most function failures in AR's that I have seen are magazine related, the others were off brand AR's with mix and match parts.
