First topic message reminder :

There is an array of .22 types to choose from.

I have read that Bullseye shooters prefer subsonic ammo; because, when a supersonic projectile slows down it changes its flight path.
I have also read that when firing a .22 pistol for accuracy only lead round nose ammo should be used.

Here are some examples that I have found.

CCI 22 Long Ammo - 100 Rounds of 29 Grain CB LRN Ammunition

Eley Match Pistol .22 LR 
16.25 per box of 50

Eley Tenex Pistol .22 LR 
20.50 per box of 50

BOX OF 500 Aguila Sniper Subsonic SSS 22 Long Rifle Ammo 60 Grain Lead Round Nose
57.60 /$0.12 Per Round

Best Buy
BOX OF 500 Aguila SuperExtra 22 Long Rifle 40 Grain Ammo Subsonic Lead Round Nose
34.99 /$0.07 Per Round

BOX OF 50 Winchester S22LRTSUP M-22 Subsonic 22 LR 45 Grain LRN
8.99 5 Boxes with shipping  /$0.21 Per Round

There are several categories to choose from:

Regular Velocity
High Velocity
Subsonic

Lead Round Nose
Full Metal Jacket
FMJ Hollowpoint

What is the best combination for Bullseye?

Are there manufacturers to avoid?
What is the best grain weight for Bullseye?
What .22 do you recommend?

Regarding subsonic ammo, upon further research I noted the following:
Speed of sound = 1126fps, Answers.com
CCI Standard Velocity .22 LR ammunition is rated at 1070 fps., Wikipedia.
Conclusion, just buy regular CCI standard. It’s 1070fps and the speed of sound is 1125fps. Using CCI standard is already subsonic.

I appreciate your experience and wisdom in your response.

Funny you say that. I had bought two bricks of Remington Thunderbolt during the dark days. They sat in my ammo storage until this fall when I decided to use them. Not only did they all go bang, all 1000 of them, but I shot my best show fire with them, a 99 on a 20-yard reduced target.

They left my gun filthy and threw burning powder on my arm however  geek
