win powerpoint works good for me out to 125 on squeeks just know your hold over, always gut shots for me past about 75-80yds. I group about 1 1/4 inch at 100 all day long with this stuff. Its pretty fun to wack vermin out at that long range for a 22, they usually run about 10 feet with all the gut hanging out then they just give it up. So for me that has been the most effective 22 ammo for me so far. Pretty much any ammo works good to 75yds , and I have never had any heypervelocity ammo work well. If you get the latest varmint hunter quarterly they have a great article about modifying 22 ammo for more effectivenessBrandon

I'm with DDave, I really like the federal bulk stuff in the 525 boxes. I set my .22 sights for 75 yds and have a blast at the bunnies.

I really like the CCI Quick Shok. Those little bullets work wonders, especially on Ground Squirrels.

Out of my CZ 452 Lux I have found that Wolf Match Target is the most accurate ammo. It will group dime sized 5 shot groups at 50 yards fairly consistently off of a rest. CCI subsonics group well too for me but not nearly as well as the wolf match target.One nice thing I have discovered with the match target is that when the 4x leupold rimfire special scope that I have on my rifle is zeroed at 50 yards, if I aim using the top of the thicker part of the reticle as a front sight post at 100 yards I can shoot dead on. It is almost like having it zeroed at 50 and 100 yards with my particular rifle and scope.

But what i have found is that CCI Quickshock plants varmints better than anyting else,, JMO of course. Good luck.

I like the Remington gold dot's hp 22lr they work good for squirrels to up to 50 yards kills them pretty good not bad for a bulk pack. the cci's are better but cost more.

Wolf Match Target is the best in my Savage. Very accurate and I make hollowpoints out of them for fun with the Neil Waltz die. Remington Subsonic HP is decent, cheap and available at Walmart in bricks of 500. Remington CBee22's are nice and quiet and pretty accurate although low powered (650-740 fps) for 25-50 yard cottontails. The CBee22's are more accurate than CB Longs. And I like CCI Minimag HP's for ground squirrels at 75-100 yards.
