Who makes some high quality .22LR ammo?

I need a good premium hunting round for squirrels. The Winchester white box ain't cutting it....

try remington subsonic, i get great accuracy with these. and if you just want to take there heads off try quickshoks, they split into 3 pieces on impact.

I ve tried almost everything and I have the best I think are CCI MINI-MAGS($4.00, 100 rounds), stingers and velocitors are to dam fast they were all over the paper target, I could not get any consistency with them.

I recently started using stingers in my pistol, (knock the bowling pins down faster, and more gas meens my v-comp works better,) and can still hit a penny at 25' (Ok, ok, a quarter if I am not resting the gun!)

Rimfire accuracy is a very individual thing. It isn't uncommon for the cheapest stuff to perform best in a weapon.

I'd say you just need to do some patient testing. I have experianced the generally poor accuracy with the various "super speed" offerings though. I don't have anything that will shoot those well.

Wolf target grade stuff has a surprisingly good rep.

I'd try that first.

My friend seems to have some luck with the Winchester HP at Wal-mart. Something like $10 a brick.

Mini Mags have always been, in all the guns I've shot, the most consistently accurate round and they've got plenty of punch for small game like squirel.

I tried out various types of ammo for my 10/22. Tried Eley, Dynamit Nobel, Wolf, Remington, CCI, Winchester, Aguila, and just about everything else I could find. Turns out that the CCI Green Tag worked best in that rifle. The Remington subsonic wouldn't even cycle the bolt with factory springs!

The best advice I can give is to get a bunch of different brands, go to the range, and try them out in your .22 of choice. After all, what works for one gun or person won't necessarily work for you, that's why there's so many brands out there.
