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.

As others have said, I like PMC bronze 223 the most. It shoots really well in my Savage 110 with a 1:9 twist, for bulk cheap ammo, and shoot well in my Backland Hunt Comp with 1:7.

I also like the 62gr M855 but it is steel core and most ranges won't allow it, and its getting pretty dry to shoot steel core ammo in the woods. The 55gr 5.56 PMC stuff is decent too and non steel cored, but I do find the PMC 223 slightly more accurate in my rifles.

Steel cared stuff can be fine and actually half decent. My Mossberg MVP Patrol shot steel cases 62gr Barnaul shockingly well.
