Re: .22 ammunition lowdown
I started on Swartklip ammo. I have a few 1000 left. Pitty that if it runs out, it will be the last.

Re: .22 ammunition lowdown
Chances are that it'll shoot well with most brands and great with quite a few.

Re: .22 ammunition lowdown
All my 22 rifles shoot ok with anything, they also shoot better as the price goes up. I buy what ever is cheap in bulk and note where it works best. When the kids are shooting cans on the farm they get Remington Thunderbolts - dirt and group no better than a match box, cost very little but good enough. When I am testing own or someones ability or competition I use my Swartklip. Hunting Guerrilla or S&B HP. When the adults are playing long range or betting games (we bet each other chore - gutting each others animals or fetching drinks - or best spot etc) I use S&B. For moneys (which I really do not like killing) - we use Hyper velocity stuff.
What I am saying is if you find cheap ammo - buy it, there is a use for it, perhaps you just have not bought the right gun for that ammo yet.

Re: .22 ammunition lowdown
Have the same rifle, I tried CCI Standard Velocity, CCI Subsonic, SK Standard Plus, SK Match, Eley Match, Eley Sport, Fiocchi 350 & Fiocchi 300
Shot all at 100m, one of each at a time - 2 minutes out of each other and 5 of each (with a 5 round barrel warm-up) - tried to keep the conditions the same (as far as I could).
Results:
1. SK Standard Plus (1.12MOA)
2. CCI Subsonic (1.3MOA)
3. Eley Match (1.33MOA)
4. CCI Standard Velocity
5. SK Match
6. Eley Sport
7. Fiocchi 350
8. Fiocchi 300

Re: .22 ammunition lowdown
22's are usually quite picky about their diet. Test all the ammo you can get. When you find a load that your rifle likes more than others, stock up on it while you can get it.
