RE: My New .22
Just going to have go out and buy ya 20 dollars or so of ammo and decide. My 10/22 loved the CCI classics, but can't find them anymore. Hated green tags, and any match ammo of any type. Hated the cheap vipers, and everything remington has to offer. Loves CCI Stingers. You got to decide what is good enough for ya. 1.5" at 50 yards is good enough for me.
If you buy the cheap ammo, you probably can't expect too much in consistency but its fun. I am sure after you compare all the brands and makes, you will decide what suits your needs. What suits mine may not be the same as yours, and probably isn't. I want my 10/22 to be very accurate at 40 yards or less for squirrel. So the stingers give that accuracy.
