My 10/22 is hitting MOA with CCI standard velocity. Now I'm looking for a higher velocity round that will be at least not too far off, maybe 2MOA to 3 max..

What hv ammo has worked for you?


Already tried:
Velocitor
Stinger
Winchester RN 1300fps
Minimag

I'm ready to try any brand. Clean burning preffered.
 
You know maybe its my shooting technique. I think I need proper bench shooting bags etc to sight this thing in? Once I get a 1" group at 50 yards I'm happy.. I guess I'll give the velocitors another shot (pun intended).
 
Are you talking MOA or inches? Because 1MOA at 50yds is 0.5"
1" would be 2MOA at 50yds.

Almost anything will do 1" at 50yds, very little will do an honest 1MOA.

Yes 2MOA or 1" at 50yards.. Right now HV rounds are hovering around 4 moa (2" at 50yards)

American Eagle 38gr hollowpoints shoot well for me. Worth trying.

I'll give them a try! Thanks
 
One inch five shot groups at 50 yards is probably about the accuracy limit of the 10/22, regardless of what ammunition you are using.
I have done experimenting with several very accurate, sporting weight 22 rifles, trying out various types of regular priced 22 ammo.
A Brno #1 and a Brno #5, a CZ and two an old Winchester 69A rifles, have all made half inch, or under, five shot groups at 50 yards. Scopes varied from 4x rim fire models to larger variables.
Ammunition that did the best was also CCI. However, there was little, or no, difference detected between regular velocity and CCI Blazer's.
American Eagle was also pretty good, as were some bulk Winchester.
The worst brands shot in the area of 1.5 to 2 inches at 50 yards.
 
My experience has the match grade standard velocity shooting the best, then the high velocity like the Velocitors which I use on grouse,
and worst of all for accuracy was the ultra high velocity like the Stingers. They also lose energy fast and wind up quite a bit weaker than
the Velocitors at 75 yards and more.
