    Why do .22s have such different accuracy with different ammunition?

    Why is it that both my .22 rifles only like a particular type of ammunition? (I only use subsonic).

    The Lithgow loves Fiocchi 40g and CCI 40g subsonic but throws Winchester 42gr and 40gr subsonic and Remington all over the place.
    The Norinco loves CCI subsonic but seems to hate the Winchester, Fiocchi and the Remington subs.

    What causes this huge variation in accuracy between .22 ammunition?

    Is it the ammo: manufacturing tolerances, quality control, consistent/similar SD?
    Or is it the rifle: chamber, throat, rifling, crown, and/or barrel dynamics?

    Or are there so many variables that one can't really say what causes one brand of ammo to be accurate and another not?
