I shoot whatever's clever. But I stay away from the Bears, Tula, etc.. Hornady Steel TAP, M193, M855 have all proven to be good in my stuff.
POI can be noticeably different at 50 yards when talking about slow fire supported target shooting.
These were shot at 50 yards in a stock (other than Geissele trigger) 6920. No sandbag or other artificial support, just the magazine on the deck, and shot somewhat quickly. Some flyers (like the one RA556B) were all my fault. Notice how far off the POI is on the 50gr TSX.
Three of the five weren't even on the paper! (but I know they were down there to the bottom left, where the arrow points, as they were on the cardboard backing)

Opposite experience.I bought two 6920's in December.One remains unfired,the other very accurate with 55,62,69,and 75 gr ammo.I havn't even touched the sight setting on it,and am using the carry handle sights just as it came from the box
I need to take the time to really zero when I can,all this was 200 yds and in. It could change.
If you are trying to find the capabilities of your 6920 I would suggest trying some of the Black Hills MK262 Mod1, their (or others' match loaded) .223 77 or 69 grain SMK loads or the 75 grain Hornady TAP loads. These should reveal what you might expect from your 1:7 twist barrel and I might add, do very well in mine. The comments regarding POI shift between loads are spot on. In my (scoped) 6920 the MK 262 prints the 77 grain SMK more differently from the Black Hills . 223 match loading with the same bullet than one might think.

FWIW: Prvi Partizan .223 75gr BTHP match ammo is pretty good for the money. Right around the election they were $9.50/20 at SGAmmo.
The best part? In my 6920 the POI is, for practical purposes, identical to Federal XM193.
POI in my 6920 is basically identical for:
Federal XM193 (what I use to set the zero)
Federal XM855
Prvi Partizan 75gr match BHTP
Prvi Partizan M193
But PMC XTAC XP193 has a little different POI, despite supposedly being an M193 like the others.
You just need to go try different loads to find good complimentary rounds.
My 6920 really likes these loads, if you're looking for accuracy checks...
Mk262 (Mod 1)
BHA 60 VMAX, 68 OTM
Hornady 60 TAP
Speer 55 GDSP (24446)
Corbon 55 BK
There are more, but those have distinguished themselves in the gun.
