Keep in mind that rate of twist and dept of rifling had changed from vendor to vendor and decade to decade.
I have a old winchester model 67 single shot (LR/L/S) that doesn't like ANY current made easy to find shells. The best it shoots are CCI CB short or CB long. Aguila Super Extra Subsonic, and Remmy Subsonic shoot OK in it.
My Marlin Model 60 and my Ruger 10/22 both seem to prefer the Remington Golden Bullet HP

CCI Stingers worked well in a buddies browning buckmark. As did the Winchester Red Label HV stuff. Bother were ok in my Ruger 10/22 but nothing to write home about.
CCI Stingers worked moderately in another buddies Ruger Mark II pistol, but The CCI Velocitors worked wonders in it. As did the Aguila SSS 60 grain subsonics. The velocitors work decent in my old marlin model 60 so long as I am satisfied with consistently 50 cent sized groups.
Remington Yellowjackets shot minute of squirrel and minute of bunny in my Marlin Model 60, but my Ruger 10/22 hates them, which is weird because dad's 10/22 shoots them pretty well.
Federal Lightning (old box pre-champion style label) shot VERY well in my marlin model 60. However the new box (champion style label) doesn't shoot great in it, AND it is much dirtier than it used to be.
Remington Cyclone has shot decently in my ruger 10/22, a buddy's remington viper, and in another buddies browning buckmark.
Winchester Super Speed RN & HP and Hyper Speed HP shot OK in my Ruger 10/22.
I will look through some of my other various 22 shells at home I know I have some older and oddballer ammo in there as well. We don't have alot of winchester 22 shells for sale down here.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
