what's your favorite .22LR ammo?

Another vote for winchester M-22
Punches good holes through gophers and feeds reliably through my 10/22.

 

[sask31]

Winchester 555 bulk. It hits gophers harder than all of the other cheap stuff I've tried.

CCI Stingers are my favorite. In both my browning semi-auto and small semi auto pistol. They have been very effective in settings unconventional for a .22

 

[Rossiter93]

This may be blasphemy but I have no issues with Winchester dynapoints in my Savage mk2 or my 10/22, and they're usually in stock at the Walmart here for a decent price. Although the most accurate ammo I've tried is Aguila sub sonics in the Savage.

I'm really liking SK standard and rifle match, great stuff for the price. Dabbled with some Lapua and x-act was very consistent in a rifle that was unworthy but was fun to see the results of trying it. Have a couple more boxes of it and Midas + for when another rifle shows potential. Haven't tried any eley stuff, and have had mixed results with the rws club and target rifle I've tried.

I love stingers out of my pistols. I mostly just plink, so haven't tested for accuracy, but the muzzle blast and ball of flame coming from the gun using Stingers is EPIC!!!

 

[Noob_]

Cci mini mag for plinking

 

[Butcherbill]

Haven't tried any match grade ammo yet but my xt22 likes a few brands of bulk and cheaper stuff. Mainly AE hp's in the red box, cci mini mags, federal target match, cheapie blazer. It's not too picky, it likes wildcats as well.

 

[FreedomIsn'tFree]

CCI Stingers.

"what's your favorite .22LR ammo?"
It depends on what it's used for. If accuracy is paramount, it's always necessary to use match grade ammo at distances beyond 30 yards or so; no bulk ammo produces great accuracy, unless minute of pop can defines accuracy. When punching paper at relatively short distances, it's hard for most any ammo to go terribly wrong. But when shooting at 50 yards, it is necessary to use the better stuff.

I agree with under 30yrds its hard to tell average from good, but its not necessary to use top end target stuff at 50 although it will help you out a bunch generally.
This was my first time, first group shooting at 100yrds, please excuse the "flyer" that opened my 5 shot group to .4 must have bit my tongue or something. One of the reasons I like CCI Ar Tac, the top target is 50yds and will do that consistently.

 

[Csik boatguy]

Cci minimags for me

 

[trebor2880]

Federal Champion, Winchester in the bulk black box, 333 or 555, and even Thunderbolts when my life doesn't depend on them.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Stingers

 

[marathonman]

SK high velocity hollow points as well, as they are extremely accurate in all of my 22lr rimfire rifles.

 

[rws53]

for plinking just about anything on my shelf will do...

 

[HammerliSP20]

For practice I go with Federal Champion 714's and in competitions I generally use Eley Team or Lapua Center X.

 

[canmic]

I've found that each of my 22s likes a different type of ammo best.

For general plinking, whatever is cheapest is good.

Subsonic doesn't cycle well in most of my semi autos.

I actually have a single shot bolt action that is most accurate with thunderbolts and I have tried everything in it, even the good Eley stuff but nothing groups tighter than thunderbolts, makes no sense, but hey, what works... works!

 

[Brocolt]

my ammo is :

SK Standard Plus
Lapua trainer
CCI Quiet
Federal .22LR Gold Medal Match

for plinking just about anything on my shelf will do...

rws53 damn you for living in North Dakota with all your cool stuff we can't have, only 2 other places I like to live in is South Dakota or Utah. I love this sign & what it stands for

 

[silverfoxdj]

CCI Standard for standard use..

 

[Aaron1187]

I buy the cheapest stuff I can find because my Gevarm will shoot any ammo I feed it and it's only used for plinking so I don't need anything special.
