I'm curious what folks recommend for serviceable-ish 5.56 NATO training ammunition. I'm looking to purchase about 1500 rounds now, and will be purchasing more in the future.
Reloading isn't a consideration, but the ammo does need to be reliable, as I'm going to be running it in a high-volume course.
What do y'all recommend?

I've watched literally millions of rounds of XM193 fired downrange over the past couple of decades without any major issues.

Just got a case of 1000 American Eagle 55 grain off Ammoman for $325. No issues with American Eagle.
That MEN ammo is nice!
Magtech works pretty good as well.

I'm still impressed with Wolf Gold. Typically $280 per 1000 and has grouped better than XM193 at 200 and 300 yards for me.
The Hornady steel case ammo has been good, my agency has used 10-15k a year for several years. When I started buying it, it was cheaper than the also good American Eagle we had been using
Just ordered 1k of Federal Lake City XM193 for $300 shipped.

Midway has IMI at $0.24/round shipped.
I think it's the best deal I've seen on 5.56 since before Obama.

I run XM193. Not saying it’s the only game in town, it’s just what I use. Works in all my rifles so I haven’t seen the need to experiment with anything else.
