I have done a few simple tests over the years and will relate the following.
1. Usually the less than speed of sound will shoot most accurately----the Rem blue green box target used to always shoot best in most all guns.---However, a friend of mine states they are not what they used to be----I do not know as I am still using the many rounds i bought many many years ago.
In the last few tests CCI standard (1070 fps) was very accurate in a few different rifles while the CCI subsonic (1040) shot good too and best in one rifle. (we has an assortment of federal, remington, winchester of varied velocity to try---although one rifle just simply shot the federal match real good---another the green tag).
So----you just have to buy a few different ones and see which your rifle likes (over years---different lots could change results).
AS YOU CHANGE AMMO FOR TESTING---you may have to shoot 3 to 11 rounds before the new ammo settles in.
Stingers will not give you high velocity out of pistols---slower than standard---they use a slower powder, and out there at a distance with a rifle, the velocity has slowed down considerably and now you have a lighter bullet at the business end. (per Jamieson).
Plus they cost a whole bunch more. I think that the best thing about Stingers was the marketing job.
Waste of time to put high end (20 to 40 cents a round) european ammo in low end American guns.
I could go on and be more detailed but you'd fall asleep.
