what ever ammo your gun likes best and shoots most accurately.My CZ likes cci mini mag hollow points.I would reccomend a high velocity hollow point for coons they can be tough critters.If you use hollow points for squirrels and rabbits try to limit yourself to head shots so you dont destroy the meat.you can try some of the bulk ammo several makers offer 500 or 550 round boxes for about $15 and some guns shoot them well the remington bulk stuff shoots almost as good in my CZ as the CCI's but my marlin and ruger 10-22 and my single six like the federal,my ruger markII loves sub sonics,22 ammo is cheap and you should not limt yourself to just one kind or brand,you can pick up a box for a few bucks and try it and see if your gun shoots it well.GOOD LUCK!!

they will work fine.....headshots on coon will be important if you wanna put them down....ive shot ALOT of coons...a 22 and a headshot is all it takes...but you put them anywhere else and if they come down they will be very much alive...or they can and will climb and move and get into dens and such....when im running the hounds i take the headshot every time...if its impossible to get a head shot, i crack them in the hind end and get another shell in and crack them in the head when they look or start moving...works every time and rarely does the hind end shot bring them outta the tree so i dont gotta worry about the hounds getting torn up
