22 magnum - ammo choice?

My new Savage 93fv arrived today... 22 mag with heavy barrel and accutrigger. Should be nice :)

Anyway, for ammo I can see a use for 30-35grn and the 50grn loads. Anyone have a particular recommendation as to where to start as far as a brand goes?

For 22lr I've always gone with whatever was cheapest and would hold minute of pie plate at 25 yards. Now however I'm thinking of paper targets out to 200 yards, and the savage is supposed to be very accurate with the right ammo.

    CCI Mini Mags work pretty good for me.

    cci and winchester seem good, pmc leaves alot of unburned powder but it is cheap.

    I use winchester dynapoint in my 9422m winchester and marlin 25mn. $6.82/box instead of $11.00. My automag II prefers federal 50 grain #757. Just bought ten boxes of dynapoint for this weekend prairie dog shoot.[:)]
