[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2922149, member: 78056"] I have had very little luck with the Yellow Jackets out of any of my .22lr's. Accuracy was mediocre at best, although they do hit pretty hard. I think my favorites for hunting are the Velocitors & the segmented ammo. When testing different ammo brands you *must* clean out the lube from the previous test before you test the next batch! Some brands use especially nice lubes on their bullets (Wolf, Eley, Lapua & CCI target ammo, to name a few) but if you don't do this, you can easily get false positives when one brand "uses" the good lube from a previous test but yet when you go to shoot it again, the accuracy goes down the tubes! When testing I will use some BoreTech Rimfire blend to clean the barrel, then fire at least 10 rounds of the ammo to be tested into the berm before the real test begins. It is time consuming but is the only way to be sure a particular brand of ammo really shoots in your rifle. Do note: the more accurate your rifle, the more important this becomes. It probably won't make a lot of difference in a stock 10/22 so unless you're using a custom barrel it might be a waste of time. Only way to tell is to try it! It can be very frustrating to shoot some Eley then shoot some cheapo ammo afterwards and it does great! You buy more of it but suddenly it doesn't shine anymore! Maybe the idea of using a home brew lube isn't a bad idea although it does sound messy.
