And they say 10-22s aren't accurate????

Try a box of Agulia Super Extra 36 gr HP, its standard velocity and Ely primed.

You might want to think about replacing the barrel with a target chamber type, you can find the Butler Creek for @ $125.00 and they are a great buy and very accurate.

I have tested ammo several times with my 10-22. I find the lube the bullets are using are one of the biggest factors. Wolf MT is one of the top performers with a reasonable price. When testing, it seems to take about 40 rounds to season the barrel to a particular ammo. In other words, after shooting a couple of hundred rounds of Wolf MT, the next 30 or so of a less performing ammo would shoot better than its previous test results, until the lube from the Wolf was gone. Therefore, small lot testing didn't give me accurate results.
All that being said, the best low price performing ammo in my 10-22 is Federal 510b, which is the 50 rd, boxes I used to get at walmart for $1.51 a box. I will reliably do .5" 50yd. groups with a seasoned barrel. it is a lead bullet with an oily feeling lube. It doesn't like being loose, it picks up lots of dirt in the lube.

My 10-22 is pillar bedded, free floated except for a piece of inner tube a couple of inches in front of the vee block, allowing different tension settings on the action screw. also have radiused bolt, and squared the bolt face. Inexpensive Clerke barrel I picked up at a gun show.
None of these mods cost much money, mostly my time.

I read someplace that match chambers negate the use of Stingers.
Unlike the Stingers of old, the new stuff seems repeatable.

IMHO it offers some needed oomph if trying to .22LR woodchucks.

I had a 552A that did well with Yellowjackets. Prefer .22 mag, but a bud said "lets go .22 lr some chucks" so we did. YJ's got a couple of kills that day. He IIRC ran reg .22 lr HP and hit a couple but they made it down the hole.

Learned long ago, when rimfiring chucks..........you don't shoot once and then wonder what the effect was. Pour it on and then go check.

(chucks down the hole are scored as a miss).

The stingers have a longer case that can damage a match chamber. There are many different chambers available for .22's. A popular version is the "Bentz", which I think is a compromise between tight match cambers and standard commercial chambers. Most match types are too short for stingers.

Unfortunately, the 22lr is a fickle round that places us at the mercy of the manufacturer. But there are a couple of things one can do to the 10-22 to gain some consistency.
The firing pin on a 10-22 rides loosely in a groove. Loose as in up and down. Take a piece of birdshot (I used a cold rolled pin) and tap it into the groove just before the bolt face. Tap it in to almost touching the firing pin. The 22lr with the priming method used gets finicky. This method will provide a strike on the rim the same place with every round.
The headspace of the 10-22 is made to fire anything consistently and reliably. Maybe not accurately. The headspace from the factory runs around .055”. The rim of the 10/22 LR is a nominal .042” . That slop will cause flyers. Get it down to .428-.430 for consistency.
The factory barrel has the same problem. Anything can be put into that hole. Either get a new barrel with a "match" chamber or have the barrel "faced off" and have some one use that to produce a tighter chamber with a "match" reamer. Does not take much. Just enough to trap the nose of the bullet and not allow it to flop around. It is called a Bentz chamber.
The single action screw poses an accuracy problem. That can be solved easily with a trough bolt all the way through the stock using the back hole in the trigger group. Locks up better than glass. An, oh yes, an adjustable sear. Best investment for a 10-22.
Replace the trigger return for a torsion bar.
I have done it all. Mostly by hand.

I have a bunch of Aguila Super Extra because I picked up a couple of bricks and my Chiappa M1 22 likes it. I'll try it, but I'm real happy with the way the CCI SV works in the gun, could ask for no more. No need for fancy barrels if I can get that kind of accuracy out of it with the right round. But, if it'll shoot the Aguila as well, that's another alternative and one needs alternatives in these times of short ammo supplies. Aguila is one I didn't try the other day. I've got some others I didn't try, either. Should probably spend some bench time running everything I have through it for groups when I get the time. Now that duck season is upon me, I'm going to be after them a lot.
