Looking at buying some bulk ammo. Is there a brand to stay away from or which is better than the rest? Gonna be used for plinking and shit.

I bought a box of 1000 STV, haven't shot it yet but it's cheaper than PMC so we'll see.

I bought the STV and shoot them out of my MRA Renegade. Sometimes there will be light strikes with LAR-15 mags, but no problem with Cross or MFT mags; could be a mag issue. Also, sometimes the brass is tight and I have to pull the charging handle hard to extract. PMC Bronze, have zero issues and always go bang.
