    For plinking I buy Remington Golden Bullet (not Thunderbolt) and for hunting CCI. I have not had any problems with that particular Remington round (out of semi autos, bolt action or revolver) and it is cheap enough for plinking. CCI is just plain accurate- especially their sub sonic hp out of a bolt action.

    You gotta see what your gun likes with accuracy and feeding / ejection. Buy small quantities before buying 5,000 rounds. I like the Federal Auto stuff for semi autos. I also found it to offer acceptable accuracy.

    If you are going to suppress it, save your money on CCI subsonic and buy CCI standard velocity. It is still subsonic. More readily available and higher velocity.

    Sub is 710fps
    SV is 1070fps

    But like PB stated, make sure it likes The ammo first.

    Agree that it's hard to go wrong with CCI standard velocity. Great ammo.

    Another vote for CCI standard...I use it for plinking and CCI subsonic HPs for varmints. They shoot to same POI in my 10/22.

    CCI Standard Velocity worked good for me too. The WOLF black box as well. Green Tag wasn't that thrilling in my gun..... I forget which other flavors I tried.

    I have used everything from Wolf extra match to basic bulk ammo and I suggest you try every brand you can get your hands on and see what your gun like. The two 10/22 I have tricked out like the same ammo which is nice but my factory 10/22 likes other brands.


    Some of my top performers, CCI standard velocity, GemTech standard velocity, Wolf extra match.

    Now for plinking or shooting long distance I don't waste my standard velocity stash. I get good results with Federal auto match, Blazers, Basically anything made by Federal HV.


    Here are some targets, 100y and 150y with basic bulk ammo from my tricked out 10/22.




    If your happy with the results and can find it whenever you want I say that's a great ammo choice.

    Another vote for CCI Standard Velocity and Mini Mag.

    CCI has been the most consistent rimfire ammo for me. I shoot a good bit using my 10-22 and MK-II semi-autos and most of the other brands will have an occasional under-powered or dud round.

    I am sure match ammo from any company would be consistent and reliable.

    My Iver Johnson single shot rifle is fun to shoot with CCI Quiet ammo (hell, it's fun to shoot period, but I avoid HV ammo in it).
