I prefer CCI SV. It's cheaper than the suppressed branded stuff, I have tons of it stashed away, and I shoot it in everything. It's accurate, reliable and harder hitting than the quiet/suppressed branded stuff while still being subsonic. Some of that quiet stuff is so slow I wouldn't count on it to make an ethical kill on something animals.

In all my .22 suppressors, fouling is an issue no matter plated or straight lead. You're going to have to clean the suppressor anyway, so doing it more often is not that big a deal for me. I just make sure not to shoot rimfire in my dedicated .223 can so I don't have to worry about it. However, if you are adverse to cleaning them any more than you absolutely have to, then maybe it's worth it to find a suppressor specific ammo. If I ever get to that point, I'll probably switch over too.

I like rimfire and rimfire accessories. Yup. Mmhmm

Suppressors that can be put in an US cleaner seem to cut cleaning time down a lot.

I have been pretty satisified with CCI SV ammo through my suppressors. I have an old Huntertowns Arms that has aluminum baffles that I have to soak it in a solution before brushing it. The ones that can be submerged in the US cleaner make it easier.

I've used "The Dip" on my Spectre II. You do have to be careful with it because you make lead acetate which is easily absorbed by the skin. It's also only to be with steel components, but it does work well.
