Which is a decent bulk ammo in .223 to shoot out of my new ar? Just want to put some rounds down it before I start to reload for it. I'm looking for brass ammo so I can reload them.
 
Federal American Eagle 55 grain FMJ in 223. It is about as cheap as you will find for the 223 and still be brass cased. And the brass isnt too bad either to reload. I reload lots of it.
 
Local I cant find m193, and m855 goes for $450 per 1000. Walmart carroes some pretty good ammo that comes in a black box that runs about 35¢ a round.
 
The last American eagle i got was marked lake city and did have the ring in them, the interesting thing is that about half of them took primers without pocket reaming. I ran across some new style pmc that loads pretty good as well.

Our .223 ammo and brass dried up months ago and a 50 count bag of new brass is $35.
 
Tried many brands and lots in my S&W M&P-15. Most accurate I have found is Fiochhi with 50 grain VMAX. Consistantly under 1" 5 shot groups at 100 yards. Had one last week that was 0.424". Bought 1000 for $400 including freight. It is hard to load at that price with good bullets. Midway USA sometimes puts it on sale at $19 for 50 round box. That VMAX is deadly on coyotes and rarely has an exit hole.
