Default .22 ammo

I might have ask this before But it's early and I ain't got time to search.What do you guy's think is the best .22 match/target ammo.I have tried the wolf and the cci "Green Tag".I even tried some Stingers for kicks and giggles .It does not like the stingers must have a match chamber.The wolf grouped better than the green tag ,But still not good enough for me.My options are limited around here.I just would like to know what to try to order.Would like a pretty good idea berfore I order a brick that is pretty much useless.I know I have to shoot to tell. But you got to have a starting point. Thanks guy's.....Alton The rifle is a Rem.540X.with peeps instead of scope.Am still looking for some blocks for this rifle.

Nobody can tell you. What shoots great in one rifle will do mediocre in another, and won't shoot well at all in a third. Best bet is to order a box of as many kinds as you can, and test.
Order some Eley, Federal Match, some Lapua, and any others that might fit your needs.
I've found Winchester Dynapoints to be one of the more consistant shooting loads, and they do reasonably well in most of my rifles.

Duckdog ,I don't shoot comp. But I want to try to get all I can get out of This old remmie.Actually I don't know of any place to shoot comp around here.I might just put an old 36x trashco on it that I have and shoot 25 and 50 yards.I am pretty sure it has a match chamber because anything but target ammo is hard to get in to the chamber.Thanks for all of the replys.

swampdog. i shoot for the college i am at right now. its great!!!!!!!
pluss they are paying for all my schooling which is also a pluss. . if i wasnt shooting compitition. i couldnt see spending 13.00 bucks on a 50 round box of ammowhen you can get cheaper ammo for it that shoots decent groups. the reason i shoot what i do is because when im shooting at compitions the target the middle of the target is the size of a period at size 12 font. like this one .
hard to hit if you dont have something tht shoots exact but also like charly said every gun shoot ammo different. . just get a bunch of differnt types and spend a afternoon at the range.
god luck
