What is the best .22 LR ammo for speed/accuracy? 0 -
this is one of those questions you could talk about all day. if you are trying to find a good load for a specific gun, just buy a few different boxes, and try them all out. i shoot a lot of cci green in my 22s 0 -
stay away from remington, in any cal larger than 22, there 22 is ok but I always have at least one bad round out of a box of any large cal shells I buy from remington, so I try to go winchester
If you like my first shot? wait until you see my next!0 -
thank you mag44 i have always had something bad or wrong with most of the remington ammo i buy i think their guns are great very very nice guns but i dont like most of the stuff they do with ammo these days i like their ultra mags though but not the short action ultra mags they are to me totally pointless . for .22's i shoot right now winchesters' .22 wildcat which is 40grains and does the job for me . most ammo i buy aside from remington does the job for me in .22 0 -
You will have to experiment some to find the ammo your gun likes the best.
Unless there is something new on the 22lr market I believe Yellow Jackets were about the fastest rounds you could get. But they may not do well in your gun.
Hit a shop w/ a good ammo selection and buy a box of say CCI, HV and Yellow Jacket and see which turn in the best groups from a good solid rest. Then as you run across other possibilities buy a box and try 'em out.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!0 -
Different guns different ammo and different opinions from different people.But the top end of Federal .22 ammo works great for me.
Best!!

got to agree Federal red box & Winchester super X have always been tops for me,in my 22 auto pistols those two gave me little trouble and seemed a little cleaner also... K mart had the Federal for 88 cents a box last month they said there getting ou of the ammo buisness, bought 20 boxes that was the all they had 0 -
aguila super maximum hyper velocity 1750 fps..prefer 22-22mag ammo that is copper coated or clad ..try diff ammo till one works consistently in your gun.... 0 -
One of the best things about getting a new rimfire is finding out which ammunition it likes best. I use the 100 yard, five bull sighting targets and shoot at least five, five shot groups from each different type of ammo from a good rest, to find the best groups. I'm consistently amazed at how much difference there can be! I am always looking for something that hasn't been fired through the gun so I can go to the range and try it out. [:)] 0 -
CCI Mini-Mag, clean burning, never had a misfire, but it cost a little bit more. 0
