I've tested loads in a few dozen .22s. One load comes out in the top 3 consistently. The rest vary a lot more with no real consistency. That load is the CCI mini mag hollowpoint .. not the solid. It isn't always first, but always in the top 3 in every gun tested so far. That's where I start.

Any time I go into a place that sells ammo, I check over their .22 LR supply. I'm generally not buying quantity, just picking up a box or two to put in my load testing box. If I have a gun that likes a particular load, then I try to stock up.

Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

Here be dragons ...
