Thoughts?
So after seeing "Battle: Los Angeles" last night, I decided I better get serious about getting an AR. I was checking more on ammo prices (545 vs 556) and am seeing that the really cheap 545 ammo ($0.12/rd) has "lacquer coated" steel casing and I've been told to avoid that as it is corrosive. The next cheapest 545 ammo I'm seeing is between $0.24 and $0.26 per round.

The 556 ammo I'm seeing as low as $0.20/rd on one site - http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/produc...oducts_id/2589

Do you guys have favorite ammo brands, or any advice on which to stay away from?
