First of all, you should establish realistic priorities. If you just like to listen to the noise, you might as well by firecrackers.

If you are more interested in reliability, accuracy and terminal performance, any of the CCI loads will serve you well. Don't let price unduly influence your choice. You will spend more on coffee and gasoline getting to a good shooting location than the price of quality rimfire ammunition. The ultimate 22 Long Rifle ammunition is CCI "Stinger" brand. It will accomplish all tasks well and kill critters 30% deader. Yes, I designed it, 34 years ago. It was the original "Hyper-Velocity" 22 Long Rifle loading. Several imitators and wannabee clone have come and gone. Stinger retains the crown. Well over one billion rounds have been produced to date. For good reason.

“by” should have been “buy”

And you’re a millionaire for designing it?

Will cheap ammo cause a gun to jam? My .22 Ruger jams if I fire it too fast. I’m using Remington rounds.

Last year I was on a jury that put a couple of bad guys away. They had loads of weapons and ammo and knew their stuff. Their silenced 22 pistol had CCI ammo in the magazines.

for VVV: Do you have more information on the .17?
