I shoot 22LR with a bull barreled Savage bolt action and have found the
Wolf Target Match is very accurate. Unfortunately, it's hard to find at
times, and it can take some time to get if out of stock. ;-) My friend
& I went together and bought a few thousand rounds of Wolf year before
last and it took almost 16 months for them to fill the order (Midway
IIRC)! We got them for about $4.48/box - I think we bought almost at
the peak of the shortage time frame, but it was a super price. We also
bought when they were on sale and maybe they delayed shipping in the
hope we'd give up? We try to shoot 36 gr at less than Mach 1. That is
supposed to be more accurate (if they don't break the sound barrier) but
who knows.
But they eventually shipped and we're still shooting them. I think my
best group was a 4 shot group in a 3/8" circle (maybe a touch smaller)
at 50 yards. No, I'll never be a pro, but I can hit what I shoot
at.... We try to go to the range every Wed. to shoot with our friends
- mostly guys we worked with over the years, weather permitting - it's
been a hit, Wet summer. I think I heard we're on track to have the
rainiest year on record if we get just another 1" or so. (Va.)

Mini-mags are fine, I prefer Winchester Super-X. For a long time Super-X was
the only high velocity full weight (40gr) .22 you could get. IIRC Mini-mags
used to be .36gr.
We used to shoot a lot of metallic silhouette, the 100 yard targets in the expert
clasI shoots were heavy and required a 40gr bullet at high velocity (well high
velocity for a .22) within 1" of the top of the target for them to fall
reliably. Everybody used Super-X. I don't remember if there was a special version or
not but Winchester's site doesn't list one now.

CCI Mini-mags, only ones I buy. Get them in 5,000 round bundles and they’re only about $0.05/6 a round. Can’t beat them. CCI makes the best rimfire cartridges here are, in my humble opinion. I have used Remington Thunderbolt and they seem to work OK, but CCI is my go-to for rimfire cartridges.

Just got 5,000 rounds of .22LR on Tuesday, so I’ll probably head to the
range this weekend.
What is the manufacturer of the 5k rounds?
I once bought a box of 500 Remington .22 LR. I had a lot of trouble with
them in my Ruger 10/.22 with lots of misfires -- rim punched, but no boom.
