Anyone have any suggestions on the best ammo to use for an M&P 15-22? It’s a 10 round mag because I’m in NJ. Appreciate responses…thanks!

Given current market conditions, anything you can get. Mine functions fine with a variety of mfgs including Federal and IMS.
 
My 15-22 has eaten everything I've run through it. SV, HV, and even SS. CCI, Winchester, Federal, Remington, & Wolf. Not a problem with any of them. The 15-22 isn't considered a 'target grade' rifle, but is plenty accurate enough to hit what you're aiming at consistently out to 65 yards or a bit further. As far as ammo goes, get what you can when you can!
 
I have found Winchester M-22 22lr ammo to work very well in semi-auto applications like the M&P15. They are sold in a double 500 box for a total of 1000 rounds per box. I was able to find 3 boxes over time and I'm very happy with the performance of that ammo.
 
CCI Mini-Mag 40 gr copper plated. You can order directly from CCI and shipping is free for $100 or more purchase. Plus, they are in stock!!!

i just went to CCI, pretty much everything is "currently unavailable". i wanted to order a bunch of mini-mags. do they come up every so often?
 
They were available when I looked a few days ago. Keep checking and you’re likely to find ‘em.

^^ agreed. I have lucked out a couple times there (same for the Federal site) for picking up some needed ammo. Not at pre-pandemic prices (nothing is) but at what I feel is more than reasonable. Especially when taking into account free ship if one orders enough.

We have been able to snag standard velocity for hitting the metal targets and mini mags for paper. Both have worked (as always) flawlessly
 
My MP 15-22 eats everything I feed it with just an occasional failure to fire but if I reload that round it always goes off.

In the current climate it is a "See it buy it" world. Since I can no longer buy Ammo from out of state I'm stuck with just 2 local chain stores as my source and both have been out of most everything for the last 16 months. .22lr just came back into stock and while not cheap at a bit over 10 cents per round it is a damn sight cheaper then shooting a center fire.

Both 36 and 40gr are available NOW. You can buy up to 10 of each on an order. AND you can place more than one order per day.
 
So CCi SV is the 2nd best I have used in my rifle. SK Pistol Match has been the best - 1/4 to 3/8 groups at 50 yards. CCI SV is usually 1” or a little less at 50.
