Heck if I know. The upper receiver could have been changed out and you have about a dozen choices of calibers.

What does the receiver say on the side of the mag well? Any paperwork with it?

Take it to where you were competing and ask them to show you how it works.

I don’t own any guns myself. Used to, but not any more.

The AR15 fires .223(Rem), AKA 5.56.

Why did you post a pic of the pistol when asking about an AR15? Confusing.

Federal XM193 or Winchester are the top in affordable target ammo.

Join the NRA and look for their local rifle club.

What is a SIG GSR? That picture looks like a 1911. I know what a SIG 226 is or i forget all the model designations.

As I stated in my comments, I bought the SIG in the last two weeks. Haven’t taken a picture of the new baby yet.

SIG GSR is a 1911 knock-off. No differnt than Kimbers, Springfield’s, Wilson etc.

Generally bulk purchase Winchester or Federal ‘white box’ FMJ works for me.

Just about any ammo should feed through it. The question is what purpose do you want the ammo to accomplish? Target shooting? Varmint dispatching? Since I primarily handload, I always choose the bullet and then load it for best performance. Similarly, buy several brands that are factory loaded with the correct type of bullet and test for accuracy.

I bought a big box of Winchester white box .45 target, and the bullet nose is sort of flat. I was getting some failures to feed in my CZ 97 so I got some Sellier & Bellot (Czech) full metal jacket walking-around ammo. No probs with the 9mm Winchester though.

55 is fine. The Hbar elites are 1/9 so they can take anything.
