Eley Tenex and RWS R50 and R100 seem to be the rage with top smallbore competitors on this planet. They want something that'll shoot all day long inside 1/4th inch at 50 yards/meters and 3/4ths inch at 100 yards.
No other ammo has this on-going track record. Federal made some stuff that equalled it in the early 1990's, but when their powder supplier raised prices out of sight, Federal quit making that great ammo. Occasionally, rare lots of Lapua or Fiocci ammo that occasionally sneaks out. The other really great stuff was the Russian ammo that was finally allowed to be imported into the USA in the early 1990's. Olimp and Temp were what the Soviet Bloc folks used winning gold medals and setting so many records. But the Russian Mafia took over the plant in Klimovsk (near Moscow), shut down the rimfire production lines a few years later and have made only AK47 ammo since.
What you use depends on how far you'll accept missing your aiming point as far as ammo's concerned. The closer, the better, the costlier, the happier..... but such is life.
