Buy recommendations QUESTION - MRA RENEGADE AMMO (16" barrel - 5.56/2.23)

My Renegade is on the way and I'm looking for suggestion for ammo.

I went to the local Bass Pro and the lady behind the counter said she wasn't able to talk to me about the Renegade because they didn't sell it.

I know to stay away from steel ammo. Is there any bulk people recommend?
This is my first rifle, so I still have some learning to do when it comes to ammo.

My renegade loves the pmc 5.56 ammo from battle packs. Pretty cheap overall too if you buy in 200+ quantities. Just remember to let the bolt close on its own. If you keep your hand on the bolt handle while it closes it might not fully close and will not go boom. So pull it back and let it go, it has to mimic the semi-auto action. If you try to help it close like a bolt action or just keep you hand on it, it will slow it down a tiny bit and might not fully close. So pull back and fully let go, let it "slam" hard, won't break anything, it is how it is designed to be operated!
