I’m down to buying 22 ammo in 3 categories.

1) CCI SV - this is what I buy and shoot for 90% if my uses. I’ve never had anything that wouldn’t run this. A box of 500 runs a bit more than bulk ammo, but I find the reliability and accuracy worth it for my 22s.

2) Target grade ammo for my wife’s built 10/22. The Kidd barrel on this loves the more expensive ammo and pays it back with being a sub-1/2 MOA rifle when you do your part.

3) CCI Suppressor & Quiet rounds. I keep a small amount of both on hand for both the semi-autos and bolt actions.

My experience with bulk has left me preferring to pay a bit more for CCI SV because it works for my guns. You will have to experiment a bit to find the one that works best in yours.
