    Dont think Velocitors are particularly accurate and are meant to be hard on barrel, not that you would ever wear out a barrel noticably faster with them. I wouldnt bother with any hyper 22 ammo, i have never had a problem killing (not talking goats or wallabys)anything with standard high velocity or even subsonic ammo.

    Ive always sighted mine in at 50yards and most shots I ever took were no more than 70yards so was ok.
    But I will probably sight my new 22 at 70yards, should give you a plus or minus 1" drop/rise out to 80yards, so would be all you would need in a 22.

    I always buy the Winchester 333 or 555 packs, always shoot pretty well and is cheapest can usually buy.
    I tried a federal bulk pack and was twice the size groups as the winchester, so bad I used it for plinking as I didint trust it for hunting.
    If you want better ammo try the CCI mini mags.
    Never tried the Remington bulk ammo, but folks here dont speak highly of it.

    If you want best accuracy possible try a box of every brand you can buy, but if you want good enough Id try the 333 pack and id it meets your accuracy requirements, stick with that.
