You cannot buy accuracy with .22 ammo but you can buy consistency. Living where I do I am very limited by what I can buy and shipping ammo here is out of the question except for large lots. Remington-Ely EPS is available here.

This is a Niedner .22-short rifle that I put a Green Mt. barrel on so I could shoot LR with it. It was chambered for EPS. IMO accuracy in a .22 is 25% Ammo, 25% barrel and 50% gunsmith.

This was a test of five 5-shot groups at 50 yards testing barrel rest against forend rest.
