Took my M&P15-22 MOE FDE to the range for the first time last weekend. As is highly recommended, I wanted to try out a few brands of ammo to see what it will eat. I had thoroughly cleaned/delubed the rifle and then applied a liberal coating of FinishLine lube the night before.
Ammo which I tested:
Federal Automatch
Winchester SuperX
CCI Mini-Mag 36g
I wasn't worried too much about the Mini-Mags since they are the darlings of the 22LR world. However, over time I had slowly built up a stockpile of Winchester SuperX, so itd be cool if it fed and fired successfully in the M&P15-22.
Anyway, to make a long story short, all three brands fed and fired successfully.
I went through over a 100 rounds across the three brands with a large bias towards the Winchester SuperX, and I only had 2 or so failure-to-feeds but I'm guessing that was more because of my haphazard attempt to make sure the rounds were staggered alternatingly in the magazines. A slight tug on the charging handle and I was able to slide the stubborn isolated round home.
So, I was stoked and had a silly grin on my face when I left the range.
