I don't do competition or match shooting much, but when I can shrink my groups, I'm a happy man. Years ago I was all about the fastest .22 LR because it was more powerful, but now I'm realizing that standard velocity is difficult to beat in the accuracy department.

I understand that subsonic ammo isn't going to be hampered by the transition from supersonic to subsonic velocities, thus it's generally more accurate.

Between CCI Standard and Suppressor, which is a 45 grain Lead hollow point rated at 970 fps, which do you think will be more accurate? I feel like the heavier and slower Suppressor will be, but I figure if anyone would know if would be you guys here.

Remember, I'm not looking to shoot in competitions, I'm just wondering which you think would be better and why because I'll buy whichever gives smaller groups. BTW, CCI SV goes for around $4 for 50 rds, Suppressor is about double that.
