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!

There is no one recommendation and opinions will vary as with anything. While your AK should chew up most anything tossed into it, like your AR's, you may find it likes a certain brand better than others.
I'd grab a box or 2 of whatever is easily avail for you and plunk some rounds down range and note the results in accuracy, cycling, cost, etc.
123gr .30 cal full copper jacketed lead moving at +/- 2400fps will wreck most stuff.
