Hottest .22LR ammo?

I had a chance to shoot some CCI Stingers from my new Marlin 925 bolt action rifle a few weeks ago and was impressed with their performance. Does anyone know of hotter/higher velocity ammo?
 
I believe the Stingers are the hottest. Remington Yellow Jackets are almost as hot, but from my guns seem to be a little more accurate.
 
CCI Stingers are rated for 1640 FPS, Remington Viper Hyper Velocity are rated at 1410 FPS, Remington Yellow Jacket Hyper Velocity 1500 FPS
 
I have never found "hyper-velocity" ammo to be most accurate. However, I have always found it to be more than accurate enough for my purposes, which was killing woodchucks out to pretty extended ranges for a 22lr.... 75-100 yards, maybe.

I used to use Yellow Jackets and then they got hard to find around here so I switched to CCI Stingers. They are very effective and accurate enough for 22lr and small critters.

I have since switched to 204 Ruger for woodchucks and now use my 22 for dust collection.
 
Aguila Super Max, .22 LR, 30 gr, rated at 1750 fps and 204 ft lbs at the muzzle is the hottest non magnum presently on the market to the best of my knowledge.

Actual tests show a large variance in velocity and tests have had some go over 1800 fps. Low velocity rounds brought the average to around 1788 fps. Out to 25 yards with a CZ rifle the tester shot a jagged one hole group with it. I don't know about 50 yards and beyond.
