Sucks when you find ammo that works well in your rifle and then the manufacturer discontinues it. Two suggestions:
I was having fun trying to find some not too expensive .22LR ammo that would group better than inch and something at 50 yards that I was getting out of my 1960’s vintage Remington 40X with Winchester T22s (I bought a case years ago). Bought a copy of The Rifleman’s Guide to Rimfire Ammunition by Steven Boelter, Zediker Publishing, and found my test results tracked his data closely, my groups being about 1¼ to 1½ X his groups. Saved me a lot of test time.
However, living in California with new laws coming in that make buying ammo much more difficult I needed a good target load now so I could stock up. So I took advantage of the Eley Tenex Test Range Service at www.killoughshootingsports.com. They found a lot that makes ½ inch center to center groups at 50 yard with my 40X so I bought a case. $$$$ but I now have what is probably a lifetime supply of target ammo. I still use the Winchester T22 for practice.

I hadn't heard of that company before. That's a nice service.
