First AK - Ammo question

Hi Guys. Your typical AR15 guy here.
Got myself a Riley AK-47 a while ago.

I use Federal, Winchester, Prvi Partizan kinda brands for my AR. ( Basically, Ammo that is not too expensive or too unreliable and does a good enough job )

What would be the AK47 equivalent ammo brands?

Thanks all for the replies!
Be Well!

You can run basically any 7.62x39. I think the Riley Defense AKs are even chrome lined which allows you to shoot the crappiest, most corrosive ammo out there. Just buy what's cheap and clean your gun.
For indoor restrictions, Bellom (Serbian) has run excellent for me...seemingly on the cleaner side too.
Those have sadly gone up in price where I live. It's like 70 cents a round ugh.
If you’re looking for a good hunting load, Hornady black SST is awesome! In general I wouldn’t pay more for brass case unless you plan to reload. I will just shoot whatever is cheapest. the one and only Ammo type that I have ever had a dudd is tula. If you’re looking for something to stock up on anything that is laquer sealed cases will be fine.
For $1-$1.50 per round? Yikes.
