22LR Ammo, most accurate for Hunting Use

One .22lr that has always worked well is the Winchester Wildcat. I had a tough time getting them a few years ago. I also like Aguila Hyper Velosity and on top is CCI Stingers. I use CCI and Aguila sub sonics with great results to 50 yards. Both cycle in semi auto's.

Compared to .243 Winchester prowess, a .22 Long Rifle is a squib. Yet, both have their purposes down-range. A fifteen-foot shot at a Rattlesnake does not require a 2200 ft/lb report. Saving one's life merely requires necessary force. cliffy

Zermoid, I just started loading for .22 Hornet/K-Hornet. They will deliver approx 1000 fps more than an average .22lr,using the 35 - 40gr bullets). I would not shoot up into a tree with the Hornet. No squirrel is worth the risk.

The Hanson ammo was made in Yugoslavia. I haven't seen it in years. I also regret not buying more. They made green box, std vel., and orange box, hi vel. The std vel ammo was consistently more accurate in bolt guns, but wouldn't cycle semiauto rifles or pistols.

I mostly hunt with Win Super X Hollow Points. My old T-bolt will shoot 1/2' at 50 yds with it. It sends squirrels to that big pecan tree in the sky.

Good luck, Tom
