I'll stick with CCI Stingers in my 3" 63. They have been reliable and eject easily - at least the first three or four cylinders full. By the time you get a box of fifty through it, ejecting gets more deliberate - and subsequent Federal bulk 36gr HP use loads a bit harder than usual, too. CCI Velocitors and Stingers just leave residue. I've shot 400+ rounds of those Federals between cleanings with no problems. I love my 3" 63 - great revolver. I got to A-B it with a friend's new .22 SP-101 last fall - no thank you! I replaced my Rugers years ago with S&W. Super happy... but what would you expect on a S&W forum?
If you cannot use Stingers, I'd opt for the heaviest solid nosed ammo you know will work reliably with your .22 revolver.
