I've hunted with "target" 22s and haven't had any problems other than the price. I can't afford Eley ammo and the really good Federals are getting there, but I have used CCI Green Tag, RP Target (blue label box of 100), and WW T-22 in my old Remmy 511. It's fun to let a red treerat insult your ancestry and then pick him off with a headshot at 50 yards when he gets bold and carries his rude behaviour out into the open for God and everybody to see. My old K22 loved Green Tag, and shot the T-22s well enough to shoot nickels at 25 yards offhand. JMHO.
