Winchester subsonic 42gr max works well in most of my rimfires.

I was shooting Norma Match 22 today. Preformed as expected out of my 1958 Marlin Golden Mountie.

I shot some CCI Suppessor 45gr 970fps out to 100yrds from bags. Very accurate . I was picking my spots hitting the half size ram. Gone to give it another try tomorrow.

I know this is going to sound a little weird but I like shooting 40gr HV ammo in my lever rifles because it gives me that little extra kick, such as it is, I like the pop and the little tiny recoil it gives me over other SV 36gr ammo.
Some people can barely feel or hear the difference, but I can, and I like it.

Wow! Good to see this still going. Next trip to the desert, I'll be taking my two .22 rifles with me. Can't wait! Hope everyone is doing good right now. And that we all have plenty of .22 ammo. Think there will be some target practice going on when this crud is over. Be well folks.

Generally speaking, and only brand wise, I favor CCI, but also use Eley, and a couple others. Since I have several .22lr/22mag guns the specifics (projectile design/weight, etc.) will vary from one to another depending on the particular gun, and purpose. Punching paper is one thing, killing a critter is quite another. :)

I too have a big variety from buying whatever I could find when 22 ammo was scarce, but I prefer the CCI HP.
