Default Best ammo for DPMS AP4

What would be the ideal grain/brand .223 ammo for a DPMS AP4 - 6 grooves, right-hand 1x9 twist?

Best for what? The best shtf load in my opinion would be good ol federal xm193 55g. Or even the hornady tap 55g. For general plinking, wolf 55g will be fine.

With the 1/9 twist, you want to stay under 70g---but, if you choose a 69 or 75g make sure you shoot it first to see how it works. Some 1/9 twist guns don't mind the heavier bullets---others do.

Do not use Wolf in your DPMS!!! Look in the maunal it will void any warranty. For plinking I use Remington 55 grain umc. Never have an issue with it and it is pretty inexpensive. $9.95 a box of 20 at walmart.

I don't want to argue over shooting wolf---but, if your gun won't shoot wolf---it is a gun problem---not an ammo problem. My AR's have been getting a steady diet of wolf for plinking and all function fine.

How would DPMS ever know what ammo you were using?
