What are some of your favorites? For 22, I like CCI anything; my 10/22s aren't picky, and the Marlin 60 loves the yellow jackets.

The 8MM Mauser gets Seller and Belliot because it can get 2 MOA at 100 yards with irons.

My FAL and M-1A get whatever I can find in military ball, EXCEPT steel case, steel case wolf sucks and the accuracy is lame! the only way my FAL will digest it is open it up two clicks past factory, the M-1A burps at least once a magazine.

The Garand gets the new Winchester military load ONLY!

The 300 WM Savage weather warrior likes Remington, but will do Winchester if it must, Does NOT play well with S@B for some reason.

The AKs and SKS like pretty much everything, but the RAS gets a steady diet of Winchester white box; it has amazing accuracy for an AK! Must be the Green River barrel they used on the second run after the first run trunions started crumbling to dust.

School is still out on the PSA AR-10; I haven't fired it for effect yet. (As in past 50 yards.)

I have 3 AR-15S, the DPMS gets match grade only, I can hit a quarter at 100 yards! (good scope!)
The PGW Frankenstein eats everything, as does my Anderson/kitty cat hybrid.

The Mini-14 just gets Hornady, it's my coyote gun.

My shotguns get whatever they feed; the 590 likes Federal best. the Remingtons eat anything.

The BHP likes the military ball best as does the Taurus 92; the Glock likes anything and everything, but I stack it with critical defense.

the Rugers get whatever they get, they do well with my wonky handloads. I only handload for the Super Redhawk, however. 300-grain slugs are hard to come by as factory loads!

The Judge likes the Russian buckshot in a brass case, but its all gone so I guess its up to federal.
 
If you're taking your AR-10 out and pushing past 50 yards, you've gotta give Federal Gold Medal Match a try specifically the 168gr SMK. For me, t's like the gold standard for .308 platforms.
 
I think I have a couple of boxes of that. My M1A and FAL only get the best!
 
XM-1177 smg upper with a 5" flash hider (welded in place.) Surplus military (Colt) internals, civilian bolt, and fire group. A2 style (Built early 90's) with an odd aluminum stock. any info anyone can give on that surplus bin find would be great! It looks a LOT like this.

Several of my .22’s shoot CCI Blazer pretty well. I stockpiled a lot of it during one of the ammo crisis’. .22 mag gets mostly Winchester jhp 40 gr. .17 HMR gets whatever’s on sale!
 
I reload and cast almost all my hunting ammo. Been doing it since the mid 70’s.

Mostly hunt with these…
Husqvarna 46 in 9.3x57 with 280 gn FNGC and iron sights.
Sporterized 98 Mauser in 8mm with 18” barrel. 185 gn FNGC and 4X Meopta scope.
Marlinn 1895CB in 45-70 with 350 FNGC and Williams Guide peep sight .

I’m on the hunt for a classic JM Marlin in 45-70. I’ll find one eventually when the stars and my wallet align!
