For cheap bullets the Remington corelokt always used to do me well. For ammo that makes a decent hole, if the rifle will shoot it, the winchester ballistic silvertips (just a glorified nosler...

Hmm I must clean mine, probably had 10000 rounds through it since last clean. Don't seem to notice any difference. Usually fire between 250 and 500 rounds of .22 per night so bugger having to clean...
