I am using a Marlin 881 22lr for squirrel (sp?) hunting and need to know which ammo would be the most accurate that is also readily available. Thanks

You're just going to have to scrounge around and try different brands and types until you marry up with "Miss Right".

There's no predictability. I tried about ten different styles in my Ruger 10/22, and found that QuikShok was its best fodder by a factor of three over anything else, for groups. Contrariwise, I have a Walther which doesn't seem to give a hoot what it's fed--tight groups with anything.

I suggest buying only one box at a time and trying it from a benchrest. Almost anything will shoot "minute of tin can" if you're unsatisfied with it for actual real-world hunting.

Best luck,
