Both Marlin rifles as well as the H&K semiauto I owned did not like them in the least. Pie plate at 50 yards would not be a poor description. The Ruger Single Six that I have in 22 mag only is the opposite extreme- a good thing as it gives me a use for that ammo. The three rifles above were the pickiest in regard to ammo I ran across which is a major reason they no longer reside in my safe. My current 22 mag rifle is not as intolerant but it is fussier than I would like.
Rimfires can be very picky as to ammo at times, I would not let a report of poor accuracy determine ammo choice. One may very well find that a given brand/line of rimfire ammo will be the best choice for one gun but not as apt of a choice for the next- even if the same make and model as the previous. Buy a box and give it a try, you might find it to work very well in your gun and will probably do well enough until you find a better option.
