Ammo for 22 LR Browning Challenger II?

[Onty]

I purchased recently Browning Challenger II, steel frame, excellent condition. Before going to the store for ammo, would you suggest ammo brands that I should start with? I am not looking for expensive, target grade, just decent quality ammo that will give me “the best bang for the buck”. Yes, I am aware that 22-s are finicky and several brands should be tried for the best accuracy and reliability. However, I hope that someone has already certain experience and could help me to narrow the choice. Thanks, Onty.

You can have 3 identical 22 lr and all might like something different,
Three of us have cz's Am's. and all three like something different.

Consensus around here is that people like CCI Blazers and those Federal 525 rd bulk packs for general plinking duties. See the "favorite 22lr ammo" thread.

CCI Blazers seem to shoot great out of any .22 and damn accurate as well.

I just looked at CCI website and there is no listed 22 LR Blazer, just centerfire ammo and brass?! See http://www.cci-ammunition.com/default.asp?menu=1&s1=3&s2=5 . Am I missing something? Thanks.

P.S. I hope that you are aware of this: NO HOLLOW POINTS in handguns.
