you will just have to slog out for a pack of everything and see what ya gun likes, my Ruger loves Winchester T22, Federal Champion, CCI standard and Winchester super x, but it freaking hates Remington ammo, SK, sellior bellot, and a range of other stuff. I see groups bigger than 5 inches from Remington, have even had flyers as wide as half a meter out from it, and tonnes of unburned powder too, but then by the same token my old mans Brno Mod 2 loves the Remington stuff so go figure. I get under MOA with most of the ammo its likes, best results are with CCI standard, with T22 and Federal equal runners up.

Buy a cheap 223 and get 1 moa after trying 3 hand loads. See it all the time. FMD

With a 223, you can purchase premium components and assemble them yourself. If your skills are good enough it can be as good as anything else on the planet.
