About 10 to 15 years ago I came to the conclusion that Mini-mags are probably the most reliable-feeding .22s you can get. Even the HPs feed better than some other brands of solids in some guns. I have never, ever had one fail to feed or go bang. I haven't tested every single .22 round (or gun!!) ever made, but quite a few. Nothing else has been 100%. If you can call .22 ammo SHTF.....this stuff is it. To be fair, I haven't done any recent comparison testing.
True, they're a bit more $. And let's face it - who uses .22lr for SHTF situations? So, if you don't have a feeding problem in your .22 then they're maybe not worth it. Your call.
A buddy with a coupla American 180s uses nothing but Mini-mags.
To answer your question, though, most manufacturers including Rem, Win, Fed offer low-priced .22 lr products, often bulk packed, usually 40 gr solids at the higher speeds. The difference in price between this stuff and Mini-mags isn't as great as that between Q3131A and Wolf.
