I mostly shoot the Remington Golden Bullet shells. They are hollow points, 36 grain, and about $10, give or take, for a box of 525. These bullets are also somewhat loose sometimes as well. They shoot great. I wont shoot CCI out of any of my guns any more. I found they leave nasty powder residue and require alot more intense and more often cleaning or the guns. I keep all my guns cleans but the CCIs are the worst I found. But on the other hand they are cheap to shoot.
Winchester makes some good shell as well but I like the Remingtons and I always use the 36 grain.
I have shot many of the Remington Lightnings and the Winchester Wildcats but find you get alot of misfires.
Just my opinion and hope it helps.
