Mini mag HPs for me. Available, affordable, good accuracy in all my guns, and I like how they do on game.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

CCI Suppressor, 45 gr HP, 970 fps. I shoot suppressed and they are quieter than any pellet gun I've ever shot. Heck my farts are louder.

I like the Winchester and the Remington hollow points.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

CCI Quiet segs for rats. CCI sub-HPs for most everything else. Lately been making HPs with the Waltz die and CCI SV. They shoot a bit better than the sub-HPs.
Less frequently use CCI Minimags for semis and Win 36 gr bulk HPs for bolts. Latter don't cycle in 10/22s. That wide HP makes for good terminal effect tho.
Honorable mention to Rem GBs, what I used as a kid in the '70s.
Never tried Stingers or Velocitors. If I need more power, the WMR comes out.

Honestly, whatever is handy. Never got to spun up on 22LR ammo. All my rules will shoot most brands well. Some minute of a thumb tack at 25 yards, others minute of a squirrel’s head.
That being said, a few years ago I was invited to shoot a bunch of feral rabbits at a friend’s place. Neighbor moved and turned his domestic rabbits loose. I killed a bunch with the CCI SGB. I was impressed. Solid kills and minimal meat damage on body shots.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

I guess it better be my Win 62a, it's the only one I have. Actually I don't shoot 22's much but if I did I go out and get another Marlin mod 60!
Oops! Say's ammo. I like the least expensive I can find!

I used whatever is accurate enough in my rifle for headshots. I value that more than the bullet weight or design.

Used to be Federal and CCI, however, the last box of federal I bought recently, has about a 30% odds of not cycling and are anemic and have to be cycled by hand in multiple different guns. So, I'm going to say CCI now.
Haven't tried winchester in a while now, and not really even sure if they're still making them, but I never have gotten what I consider stellar accuracy from them seeing is how their velocity varies so much that you can tell just by how it sounds that some have a distinct pop like they should and other times you pull the trigger is more of a thud.

That round has to create the most devastating wounds of any .22LR I've ever seen. And it out penetrates the Stinger. I've kept Yellow Jackets in my supply for 40 years.

Remington or Eley SS hollowpoints for my 541-S. CCI SS hps are really hard to chamber the tight throat of the 541.
