What ammo doesn't work well in the MP 15-22?

Winchester 555 runs great in mine. In fact, it is one of the most accurate ammos I've tried. I actually bought 3 boxes of it today.
Well, went back to the range today. It was rather windy and gusty so I only fired about 75 rounds. I tried the Federal bulk today. I had 6 or 7 FTE's/stovepipes. 1 after the 2nd shot fired. I cleaned my gun really good last night. So, guess next time I will try the Blazers and see how they do. Good thing is, the Federal bulk and the Federal American Eagle's that my 15-22 doesn't like, work just fine in my M&P 22 pistol.

Ran 250-300 rounds of Remington Golden Bullets (purchased in the last month or two) through last Sunday. Few failures to lock the bolt back and pretty dirty/smoky but overall they ran through the gun ok. Not my first choice but good enough for now. Gun is pretty new. It's been cleaned a few times and had only about 125 CCI MiniMags through it a couple weeks before (0 issues with them, a few issues with 2 of 3 ProMags that were easily fixed by a bit of filing on the latch area).
Bulk Remington Golden
I just purchased the M&P AR 15-22 and I must say that I love that rifle. I could only find the bulk Remington Golden bullets. Fearing the worst I planned for a terrible day at the range. To my surprise i had probably only 2 FTF. Between myself and my sons we put about 600 rounds in two days of shooting. Very pleased. We were very conscious of how we loaded the magazines making sure that each bullet was seated in the magazine properly and everything seemed to work fine.

My rifle really likes the GB's it feeds them flawlessly and gives good accuracy with them.
They guy I bought my 15-22 off of the other day said it wont run golden bullets worth a c rap.
I shot CCI standard velocity and Winchester M22 the other day and it was fine.
I have a brick of Golden Bullets so I will have to run some through it and see how they work.

Each time I had to return my 1522 to S&W for repair(3 times) I was shooting Wincheste
r....3 different kinds. needless to say, I don't shoot WW anymore.

Golden bullets are no problem in mine and come to think of it I really haven't had issues with any ammo except my 45 ACP and 9MM which just don't seem to feed right in the 15-22.
good stuff... learning a lot here

When I first got mine it hated the golden bullets, I even had a couple OOB's with the GB's and it had a lot of FTF with these and the Winchester 555's. But now that it's had a couple thousand rounds through it it feeds every thing. Mine is very accurate with the Winchester 555's too bad I only have a couple hundred rounds of it left. I'm saving those for squirrel hunting which this rifle is very good at

After S&W replaced my blown extractor and trigger springs ( i have an early model gun ) i received a letter from them enclosed with my repaired gun stating mot to shoot Reming ammo of any kind as they would not cover any repairs if using that ammo. So to this day its been american eagle and winchester or cci and NO ftf or fte.

5-6 diff ammo types and no issues except with low velocity sub sonic stuff, to be expected. loading them in the mag incorrectly could be a cause of some issues, I think.

Great Q. I've scored several boxes of these but haven't run them through the rifle yet.
So far I haven't had an issue with anything I've fed'r.
