    Any ammo you can afford to discard the cases afterward.

    This! I don't think I ever shot an HK rifle (91 or 93) that didn't put a huge crimp in the case mouth and a ding on the side of the spent shell casing. ..

    Quality rifles are ammunition insensitive. If you have to worry about what you are feeding it, you have the wrong rifle.

    Actually the blue DAG plastic training ammo is ok w/ the special HK pure blowback bolt. The plastic casing stuff w/ a metal bullet is the bad stuff.

    I guess I am lucky; my PTR91GI shoots more types of ammo better than my Dsarm FAL.And, it rarely ejects damaged brass.

    Mine is also a GI, I added a few things though.

    What did you add to that?

    Wide hand guards
    Better recoil pad (HK)
    Metal lower received instead of black plastic
    Rail
    Duracoated new wide hand guard, original narrow hand guard, and butt stock the same color of OD green so they match. The new wide hand guard was a really ugly green. And the GI surplus butt stock looked beat up.

    This is what it looked like originally
