Another vote for CCI SV. I haven't tried them past 25 yds, but up to that distance the SV are noticeably more accurate than even the mini mags.

I shoot whatever I can find at gun stores, wallmart etc. My Henry H001L is not picky.

Nice thing about lever actions-they ain't picky. 'Bout anything will roll tin cans or split playing cards!

I can remember saying I'd never own a GLOCK,never own an AR15 and never get married. I found out that never is a long,long time!

I don't shoot a lever gun past 50 yds. but round nose ammo seems best for me.
Hollowpoints seem to lack some consistency, experiment with as many brands
and types as you can find. Let the journey begin. Cheers.

So far have not been concerned much about pure accuracy - mostly fun but the CCI mini mags seem pretty accurate to me

So far every brand that I have fed through my H004S will hit the intended target. That includes; Federal, CCI, Winchester, and Remington. Now if I was shooting match, I would probably have some interest in experimenting to see which brand was the most consistent and accurate. As far as bullet type goes, round nose bullets work for plinking as well as hollow points. I don't really have a preference, I just buy and use the above mentioned brands, and so far they all work. Now I've only been shooting 22's since 1967, so this may not be enough data for some, but it has worked for me.

I've had great results with Aguila Match and their subsonic solid point too.
