    What is the best .22LR round?

    I see ads for all kinds (brands) of .22lr. THere must be at least a half dozen different ones I remember seeing ads for if not more.
    Which is the best ammo? I mean which one is the most accurate shooting, hardest hitting, flattest shooting at distance, and the one you like to buy?

      See my sig line. You have too many conflicting requirements for a single choice. Hardest hitting would imply highest velocity, but the most accurate loads are the standard velocity choices.

        A lot of people love CCI mini-mags.

            Best 22 ammo

            CCI Mini-Mags and Stingers work in virtually every firearm and is probably the most reliable ammunition without getting into the high-priced competition ammo. I base this on my 50 years of shooting , very large collection of 22's and I shoot in competition.

                  CCI Mini-Mags are great, reliable, clean and available.

                  I used those the most.

                      The true target grade rimfire ammunition is in stock at most online retailers.

                      It's just that it's $0.30-0.40 per round.

                      But the best stuff has always been that expensive.

                          With a handgun, I tend to get better groups with CCI standard velocity compared to hyper velocity upto 10 yds. For me, precision diminishes beyond that regardless of ammo. I generally like CCI.

                            ^ This. Accurate and hardest hitting do not go hand in hand.
