In a standard 10/22 chamber Stingers are fine but they're also one of the most ill conceived .22lr ammo ever produced. The light bullet combined with fast speed is more destructive on small game but that's only if you can hit what you aim at. The same attributes that make it more destructive also give it less than stellar accuracy in a vast majority of .22 rifles. Basically it's a ammo that CCI counts on people that are impressed with numbers to buy for if you actually check their accuracy in your gun chances are about 100 to 1 it will be poor to outright crappy.

As for the 10/22........ Mine have all preferred MiniMags and Velocitors when it comes to hunting grade ammo. Bulk plinkin ammo will be slightly less reliable and less accurate but what the heck, you're plinkin right. Not life or death. Target ammo is irrelevant for it's not a target gun........yet.

The vast majority of 10/22's are very reliable outta the box. I always recommend a Volquartzen target hammer as a first mod along with some work to free float the barrel.

Other than that stop putting so much dang thought into it and go shoot it.
