RWS Target rifle is about the most accurate in my 10/22 in the "under $60 a brick" class but I see it's gone up lately.
Plenty of choices here for top shelf ammo.

Anyone use Win Super X Super Speed 1330 FPS ?
American Eagle 36 or 40 gr.
It's worked in every rimfire firearm I've tried it in, rifle or pistol, semi, lever, pump, or bolt action, and it's relatively cheap, too.
I know Federal makes it, but it works better in my .22's than the Federal 525 ammo.

Small game hunting, Winchester Super X Power Point.
Handgun competition, SK Standard Plus in my Hammerli target pistol.
Edit: I was using Federal Standard Velocity 40 Grain ammo at 25 yards for practice. I seemed to be getting a slightly higher percentage of fliers at this distance and I chalked it up to slightly poorer shooting on my part. I use a three inch target at this distance.This was with an accurate pistol under very good conditions.
I then tried it out at 50 yards and lo & behold, not a single strike in the black.
Switched over to the SK and viola! Holes in the target black again. Eight inch target black at 50.

I am a CCI fan
blazers for hunting and casual fun and plinking. very accurate at the price and drop dead reliable.
CCI STD vel for pistol competition - my gun loves these and prints ragged holes with them at 25yards. also only had one stoppage in 5 bricks and that was guns fault not the ammos
CCI std vel or SK STD plus in my paper punching rifle. The most accurate ammo i've found under $12/100 (i'm a little cheap)
For those of you who have read my others posts in this subforum you already know i am a BIG fan of CCI STD VEL. This is the most accurate and reliable ammo I have found at a reasonable price. Much better performance for just a few dollars more than the bulk stuff. I am paying about $41/brick and will be getting in a bulk purchase deal for a couple of cases soon.

True, but then you get copper fouling! In the micro-groove bores of .22's it a PITA! IMHO, anyways. Still a Blazer fan!

Hmmm so it seems the lead is mostly Blazer, with the Winnie 333/555 in second! Anyone else?
