What kind of ammo to use in the AG42B

I've been scouring the internet for ammunition to feed the Ljungman AG42B I'm picking up this weekend and had no success finding surplus ammo. I have some choices when I hit the big city tomorrow but I'm lost as to the proper commercial stuff to buy.
I cannot locate any S&B or PRIVI but I can find Federal Fusion 140 grain, some 123 grain and some 180 grain ammo.
What works??
I'm leaning towards the Federal Fusion 140 grain but I also want to reload so is the lower grain ammo going to be better?

CanadaAmmo had some too for a better price but they have been out of stock for a very long time.

Thanks for the tip about tradex. I thought they were sold out so it's awesome to know I have a source of ammo.
I want to blast off a box of ammo this weekend. I assume 140 grain of any kind is ok?

I've shot 140gr with no issues at all.
But like I said...they are hungry girls..

Get the 140gr. I've only ever used the 139gr FMJ PPU and never had an issue.

Picked up the guns. Now the hunt is on for ammo.
I can't say what I paid but I felt bad and gave some extra cash when I picked up the guns.

No luck finding 140 grain 6.5x55 ammo at a reasonable price. I did find 156 grain which should be ok. Also found Russian and Bulgarian 7.62x54r so I bought a bit.
We're set to shoot tomorrow.
Got a '39 91/30 at Crappy Tire for my son. It's a survivor - just a ton of stock repairs
