Rimfire 22lr: What does yours eat?
My rimfire 22lr is a Cz452 american and it loves PMC Zappers or Winchester powerpoints. Really this rifle is something I always take with me and think its probably one of my most loved rifles. It has shot more rabbits than anything else I own combined! Maybe I need to find a place with more rabbits!!!

Vangaurd, where do you get your stingers from, no where around home sells them anymore. As for the .22 ive got the great grandfathers baikal single shot, it goes great and has probably fired thousands and thousands of rounds. Using highland ammo at the momment as it was pretty cheap but starting to think of getting something else as its accuracy is pretty ordinary.
I have a Savage MkII LV (which was this http://www.savagearms.com/markiibv.htm before the "accutrigger") and it don't seem too fussy, I have had good results with Winchester Winner for target ammo and haven't really found much in the high velocity stuff that it won't shoot happily, none seems as good as the target velocity stuff but.
I had a Zastava CZ99 before the savage http://www.ssaa.org.au/newssaa/101-Stor ... acz99.html and it was a fairly good shooting rifle, until I tried Remington Target. Then it was just spectacular! I have NEVER had a .22 That shot like that thing. I constantly regret parting with it.

I have a 10 year old cz 452 and a Sako fingfire varmint with set trigger.
Which ammuntion is good is a very vexed question.
I used to swear by Winchester powerpoints and the subsonic equivalent (same bullets without copper wash and less oomph) but the curretn bricks of each I have are shooting really badly - nearly 2 inch groups at 50m.
I have just tried tenex sub sonic hollowpoint and they are a dramatic improvement - the first box would create a ragged hole at 50m with 5shots most of the time but the brick I bought is obviously a different batch and has widened up on that a bit.
CCI Velocitors alos used to work very well in both rifles - I have not retested them recently to see if that still is the case.
Regards - annoyed and frustrated
