I am seeing a lot of recommendations for match and standard velocity ammo in the replies. If I am reading your post correctly you plan on using the 22's to shoot PD's, if that is the case then you need to go with a hollow point high-velocity ammo - not match or standard velocity ammo.

The round nose standard velocity will kill them eventually but the great majority will die down their hole. 22 LR is marginal for PD's at best, especially larger ones, about 75 yds or so is the effective killing range even using high-velocity hollow points, even a PD deserves as painless death as possible.

As far as cleaning a 22 I am in the camp that favors a Boresnake.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
