THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Some ammo is obviously better suited for some specific purposes than others are. So some of the better stuff may not make the poll. On topic~ After my 3 decades of rimfire shooting, hunting, and competition, this is what I keep on hand and use regularly;

I usually use Federal Bulk pack but my rimfire ammo of choice is CCI MiniMags.

I break in most NIB semis with a couple hundred rounds of CCI before switching to the Federal bulk, but then I shoot that almost exclusively (with the exception of just a couple of my rimfires that are particularly ammo-sensitive and work better with something else). |

I swear by Wolf MT/SK Standard Plus. It shoots straight and always goes bang.

For me, fed bulk pack, CCI will not feed in my 22 conversion kit.

I have been shooting Wolf MT for many years now. It is the only round that shoots well out of every single firearm I put it in. I am getting ready to buy 5,000 rounds of the stuff, so it must be pretty tight shooting.
For bulk ammo, I like Federal Automatch from Walmart. I am getting under .75" at 50 yds reliably with many groups coming in under .5" I will be buying some Blazer next time I see it for sale on recommendations from the folks here. |

CCI Stinger, I carry it in my beretta 22. It has a 32 grain hollow point at 1670 fps.

Due to a failure of CCI Stingers to put down a wounded deer a few years back I no longer count on stingers for any serious purpose. A neighbor stopped by and told me that a deer had been hit a my nearest intersection and was leaning up against a tree. He asked me to take it out of it's misery as it was now on his property. As I approached, the Deer stepped away just a few feet from the tree making a clear shot even easier. I now carefully aimed my Ruger 4" 22/45 at the deer's scull and fired at no further than 10 yards. NO effect. Fired again, no effect but this time I saw fur fly at my aiming point. I fired again, no effect, some blood at the aiming point, but not much. I fired again this time aiming at the ear base knowing that there was an opening into the brain. The Deer now flipped up and over and hit the ground, only to stand right back up again!!!!
I now left and came back with my RUGER new model 45LC with 250lead SWC @ 950fps. First shot and the deer was down for good. All of the 22 CCI stingers had come apart not penetrating the deer's scull at all. The ear shot had only penetrated a few inches. The CCI stinger might work for small birds and rodents but don't rely on it for much else IMHO |

My son and I both shoot Federal bulk packs and Winchester 555 bulk packs purchased from Walmart. So I voted Winchester, Federal and more than one manufacturer.
One 22/45 Two 10/22's One Winchester 67 |

Federal 550 Bulk from walmart exclusively with my Ruger MKIII 22/45 and 10/22 and I RARELY EVER get jams, like 1 out of 3k rds. This is for general plinking, pest control, and shooting matches and leagues. CCI Standard with my can when I show my friends how quiet it can really be.

I use that stuff in my bullbarreled10/22. Damn good ammo and its subsonic. The price hurts compared to bulkpack stuff though. Alos my 22/45 will not extract it. |

I 've been using CCI Green Tag in my older High Standard with no problems for years. I won some Ely and was very pleased with it but I still have a few bricks of the Green Tag. Primary use is Bullseye competition

CCI is probably my favorite but I have started using Aguila Super Maximum 30 grain HP in my ruger 10-22 with green mountain bbl. They are way more devastating than stingers and are more accurate in my gun. I have had only 1 jam in about 500rnds and that was due to a dirty gun. Awesome round, try em out.

My 2 cents:
Eley is pretty good, also use a lot of Federal bulk.....CCI is awesome for those that can afford to shoot it on a regular basis. My uses don't justify using a lot of the higher price stuff....Federal is usually the one that makes my toys happy. If you want performance non-stop, I vote CCI. If you are on a budget, I've had real good results with the Federal's. |
