What is your favorite 22lr ammo for small game hunting? What about for varmint? How about just general plinking?

 

[gvw3]

Don't do any hunting around here but the best is cci.

cci

 

[Curlyjoe_99]

depends on the weapon
CCI is first choice for a semi
actually prefer a lead tip round for my single shot bolt.
drops the prey just as well as a HP but less meat damage if I hit mid body

 

[CCHolderinMaine]

Aguila Interceptors for an all around hi-power round
Aguila Supermax if you want the highest velocity available...watch these though, they don't always feed in all guns perfectly due to the slightly longer case (the oal is standard)

Any brand 40 gr solid will work for me, what I use the most is Blazer and Remington Gold because of the price. When I am shooting longer ranges or competition I go to more expensive ammo like CCI Mini -Mag and Winchester Super X.

 

[carver]

I use the cheapest ammo I can find, and that's usually Federal 550rd pack. I perfer the solids, but the 38gr hollow points work to. They just tear up too much meat.

 

[mr.t7024]

I use Remington Sub-Sonics for shooting small game & CCI SV for general plinking. Sometimes I use both for both! Cliff

 

[old semperfi]

winchester expert,this is a bulk ammo found in 500 round boxes for about 18.00 old semperfi

 

[TerryJ]

I use the Remington value pack for just plinking, 525 rounds for about 17.00, the only problem is about 1 round in 10 are duds.

 

[cycloneman]

winchester

plinking federal auto match

 

[Iron Eagle]

It depends on what I am feeding. My mossberg 715t only wants the fast stuff, more than 1300 fps. I am going to see if yellow jackets will work in it. My 10/22 does not like yellow jackets.

 

[FW!]

Winchester Power Points. It is accurate & really anchors them

 

[B27]

I no longer hunt.

CCI Minimag HV solids.... and CCI Standard Velocity for the serious target guns.

 

[GUNNA1DAY]

Winchester power points for hunting, cci for target shooting.

 

[bamajoey]

I don't hunt, only shoot paper. For general practice I use Federal Auto Match, or CCI SV. Serious shooting I go to something a little better like Wolf MT, SK Standard +, or if
I want even smaller holes I go to Eley Target or Lapua Center +. Standard velocity/ sub sonic ammo works better for me.

 

[dbcooper]

You should look into ordering some Eley if your local shop dont have it

Eley makes the ammo for our US Shooting teams

I run either that or Wolf Match in my heavy barrell 10/22 for the greatest accuracy.
Other than that, winchester and CCI are really good
I will not buy any more Federal if I can help it. The last batch was full of FTF

 

[SARGE7402]

Dropped a 20 - 25 pound wood chuck with a head shot from about 25 - 30 yards with my Winchester Model 69 loaded with CCI 40 Grain Velocitor ammo. Never twitched.

Works pretty well in most of the 22's I have
