I have somewhat of an assortment too. The best old , not made anymore, rounds I have are several bricks of Winchester Stingers. They are noticeably faster than regular 22 shells. My Son-In-Law tricked out a Ruger 10-22 for our pararie dog hunt a couple years ago. He used the Stingers and killed over 400 pararie dogs with them. I wish they made them still they gave the 22 quite a boost.

A lot of the 'high speed' .22 ammo get the speed by reducing the weight of the bullet. Aquilia is a full 40gr bullet. They use the priming method used by Ely for the U.S. Olympic team.
Stingers are made by CCI.Last edited by jhjimbo; 01-15-2021, 06:04 AM.

Never got great accuracy from CCI stingers, Winchester xpediters, or Remington yellowjackets. More destructive yes, but I've never needed that trait in my 22. If I needed more impact I chose something bigger. Used them mostly for jackrabbits in South Dakota & Colorado but regular mini mags killed just as well. Winchesters 36gr hollow point at 1280 seems to me to be the best compromise accuracy/smack point. Lots of 22 shells at that threshold. I've shot up all of my old waxy/greasy feeling 22's, they performed just fine. I've got one old box of 22 short hollow points I don't shoot just because they look so cool.
