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.

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.

Congratulations. Pretty soon you will have more I hope. So far I have 4 complete ARs of various lengths, and two more stripped lowers to build. The bedwetting liberals would have a stroke if they saw my gun storage room. Or should I say arsenal.

YOU PEOPLE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOO LUCKY!

Try buying a Colt AR15 here in the Communist State of KALIFORNIA. If I am not mistaken, AR15 is classified as an Assault weapon.

Handguns are entirely a different breed as well. If it is on the list of ban handguns, nope can’t own it!

You’re asking what feeds? THe answer is whatever ammo that doesn’t jam. Go buy some and see for yourself.

Hint: Start with .223 remington.

For the AR your best bet is Federal XM193. If you can't find it locally you can get it online while it's still on sale at Natchez Shooters Supply

Do you know what the twist on the barrel is? That will often times give you an idea of what weight bullet will shoot best.

My Colt AR 15 is my “honey” rifle. Unless you handload I would suggest using Winchester .223 or Remington. I’ve never had a problem with those.

Advice? worst case scenario, you will need to bury it after telling all your neighbors and half the world you have it, get some large diameter PVC pipe, either glue both ends for a sure seal or have one end with a threaded plug, grease is real good, throw some dry ice in with it and let it displace the corrosive oxygen and then seal it up.
Get as much ammo as you can afford.

If all goes well and we don’t see a gun ban in the US then take care of it, learn how to strip it down and clean it properly and the right kind of lubricants, if you find any deals on uppers like a bigger cartridge then snag them up.

I have 2 AR 15s but my real pet is my Springfield pre-ban M1A in .308.

Winchester whitebox 55gr 5.56 should treat it well. If you aren't overly concerned about quality for blasting ammo, the Wolf stuff is ok. Just make sure it isn't the coated steel cased ammo. I've heard some anecdotal stuff about it that isn't good.

If you have a stock 1:9 twist 18" barrel, it oughta eat anything from 45gr to 62 gr with decent results.
