Get some nicer ammo but you won’t be disappointed with that build. Nothing is overtly top of the line but it’s all solid stuff to get started and enjoy the sport. Have fun with it brother

Genuinely you should buy one box of as many different types as you can reasonably afford, then go shoot em one at a time to find out what your gun likes.

Some guns, even same make/model, vary wildly with ammo preference. I've seen expensive guns shoot very well with cheap ammo and I've seen expensive ammo that won't group for shit. Part of the fun is the sciencey bit of figuring out what you and your setup like best.

Rule 1 is have fun and shoot lots!

This has been true of my four 10/22s. Three would take anything I fed them, one only seems to take Aguila.
