Are you looking for plinking or hunting? Plinking- I go cheapest I can find. Hunting for coyotes I will use CCI stingers. Hunting small game I like CCI or Remington. Best thing to do is do some bench testing in your gun and find what it likes. No two guns are the same.
In centerfire rifles, when reloading, sometimes 0.5 gr of powder can make all the difference in how your gun groups with a specific bullet. There are litterally thousands of combinations for bullet, powder, primer, and seating depth combinations for a given caliber.
x2 on the testing, every gun, even same model #'s could prefer different brands of ammo.
All my .22s love CCI Stingers.
I use Federal gold medal target loads. They are extremely accurate in all my .22's.
For extreme accuracy, wolf match target, for great accuracy in most rifles/pistols and packing a punch, CCI Mini Mags, For plinking and pretty fair accuracy, Federal in then 550 bulk package..
Just for plinking and back yard shooting, the bulk packs (500 - 555) from wal-mart, for more serious shooting I always use the CCI Stingers, they pack a wallop for a .22 LR. Every one has they're own preferences.
Have any of you fired the sub sonic 22 rounds? Cabellas sells them as I am sure do many others. Reason I am asking is comparing it to the 1100 to 1300 fps pellet rifles on the market. I was thinking about getting one, but if the subsonic 22 is quieter I could use my 10/22 for a pesky neighborhood varmit and not cause any more issues that the pelelt would. What I am asking is, how loud is the sub sonic 22? I think the velocity is below 1000 fps.

CCI stingers for me as well
They don't make any more noise than a pellet gun, they have no powder in them. If you shoot them in a 10/22 they won't eject. I just shot one in mine to check it out.Quote:

The above is a test for the sub sonic 22. Thanks as i'll try it out on peskie yard rabbits.
I guess I was mistaken about the subsonic amo. What I have uses only the primer to fire, no powder. pretty neat for plinking in the back yard without the neighbors hearing anything.Quote:
