FMJ Minimags or faster.  If I HAD to use a .22, I want that sucker to go deeper.

Gold Dots 124 gr

Also have some 147 gr, but primary is the 124 gr.

For 22lr, I would pick the heaviest and highest velocity I could find. I know that lead headed cheap Federal Champion doesn't run well in my M&P 22, so I would avoid. Seems like CCI MiniMags run best and Federal HP.

Cheapest hunting ammo I can find.  :( The 45 gets 230RN hardball. (The round, not the forum member.  :shaka: )

I feed my guns home cast lead for the most part when I am target shooting but was advised to keep commercially made ammo in them for HD. Less likely to be accused of making "killer bullets" that way, even though the hunting loads (HP's, JSP's, etc) are WAY more killer than anything I cast and load.

Reminds me that I gotta buy a box of something - buckshot, maybe - to keep in the shotty.
