CCI Velociters are surprisingly accurate and my current favorite.
I like CCI Mini mags too.
For bulk ammo I shoot a lot of "Golden Bullet" Remington or did. It has a high percentage of misfires in several of our rifles and pistols.

My left hand CZ452 shoots the following:
PMC Zapper 10 rounds into 1.25 inches at 55 yards.
CCI Pistol Match into .75 inch at 55 yards for 5 rounds.
Blazer 10 shots at 55 yards one inch.
Eley Match 10 shots at 55 yards 5/8th inch.
Winchester 333 6 shots at 55 yards 1/2 inch.
CCI Stinger 55 yards 5 shots 3 inches.
Federal Match 55 yards 6 rounds in 1/2 inch plus one round to one inch.
OLD Lapua Match with copper case...7 in 3/4 of an inch plus 2 rounds to open group to one inch.
These groups were all from a rest with a 3-9 Leupold AO Rimfire
scope. No wind and flags were used. All groups were from last year...October 2008.
I hunted with the Winchester 333 because it is a Hollow Point. Most were head shots.

CCI Velocitors. Rips up ground squirrels better than anything else I've used. With iron sights, I get one inch, or less, five shot groups at 50 yds with my Model 39 Marlin. Since I never know when I'll run into a coyote, I like the heavier, more powerful loads.
I haven't used any of the hypervelocity loads as they don't shoot nearly as well. Was saving them for jack rabbits, but, after seeing what the Velocitors do, I shot them up. E

i used remington subsonics(green box with subsonic printed in yellow) when i had a .22lr
performed great on various birds such as crows and magpies.
and even though i didn't had a supressor there wasn't much noise to talk about, very handy when i used it around our vacation house.

i've got two primary squirrel rifles and they both have a slightly different preference in loads...
my old 581 remington shoots lights out with either the 36 hp or 40 solid rem golden bullet round...
my remington 552 will only function reliably with the mini mag... and the hp style is the more accurate...
if i had to pick one load it would be the mini mag hollow point... it shoots darned well in both rifles...
the winchester power point is a good load in every rifle that i've tried it, as well...

For hunting critters , what's yours ? Anyone use Remington Sub Sonic ? Opinions of the Sub Sonic for hunting ?
Mike I use the sub sonics on tree rats. Still have one brick left.

I like the Mini Mags in my Model 63 Kit gun when hiking or camping. Accurate and they kill well.
For hunting squirrels, my Remington 521T does ok with the Mini Mags, but my Marlin 39 likes the Remington Subsonic rounds.
My Ruger 10/22 does not show a decided preference, so I shoot Federal bulk pack or Remington bulk pack in it.

Depends on where I'm hunting, what time of season, the distance involved and which rifle. The two I have used with the best accuracy and success on live game would be I guess SK Subsonic and CCI Minimag HP's. Match ammo works well too, have killed quite a few with several different brands, Wolf, Eley, SK, CCI, etc.

Winchester 333/555 is my bulk ammo choice out of my 10/22. But I like Mini-mags in both flavors for hunting limbchicken  esp that 40 gr RN bullet. It smacks em w/o damaging the meat

I buy WINCHESTER Supper Speed by the case. I have had the least amount of feeding problems with auto loaders than any other. The second is Remington HIVEL another vary good ammo. For all rifles (except my target rifle) It is the best I have used since the 1950's.

Dew Another vote for the Winchester 333s. Some of the bullet lead in these loads has smeared down and puts a thin coat of lead at the front 1/16 or so of the case, but if you inspect the entire box first and set aside these for other use, the groups hover around .39 to .48 at 50 yards from my Winchester 75 Sporter. The're hell on squirrels too. Wayne

For killin stuff, my rifles usually shoot either CCI Mini-mag or Win Power Points well. For targets and eating, Wolf MT is hard to beat if you can get past the strong sulphur smell.

Reminton Viper or Aguila "Super Maximum Hypervelocity" OR CCI "Quick Shok" Every gun has it's own preferance though. My one 10/22's "match chamber" won't accept anything but the truncated Remington Viper bullets, and does well with them. ![[Linked Image]](http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww40/BigCheeseStick/P1010070.jpg) The Mark III prefers the Aquilla stuff. ![[Linked Image]](http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww40/BigCheeseStick/P1000887.jpg) And my daughters gun likes CCI's (Quick Shok, or mini-mag). ![[Linked Image]](http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww40/BigCheeseStick/P1010284.jpg)
