especially .22's
you could try a bunch and they're all gonna be pretty accurate. You'll find some that are ridiculously accurate though...
some to try:

for bulk ammo, ive found that blazers are the most accurate out of my 10/22 (so far). the box i have now are the winchester hollow points and they're not very good. ive got a 6 inch steel target at 135 yards and i can only get 3-5 out of 10 rounds to hit the target. with the blazers i would get 9 or 10.

Federal Gold or Eley 10x may be good options. Try multiple brands to see which one your rifle likes. To check the accuracy place it on a bench and shoot 5 or 10 shot groups at 50 yards. That will tell you which one the gun patterns best with. Then buy a case with the same lot number.

my rifle really likes cci standard velocity. mini mags are about the only rounds that don't shoot worth a damn for me.
generally the subsonics are going to be the most accurate.

Wolf MT, S&K, Lapua, Eley.
Your rifle will find what it likes through testing various brands as each barrel is a bit different. But the better ammo the more consistent and accurate it will be. If you want really accurate you pretty much are stuck with European brands. But for good accuracy, not quite target grade I like the CCI Subsonic and SV.

Standard velocity rounds are usually more accurate than high velocity rounds.

You generally have to pay to play in the 22lr accuracy game.
I guess it's really how you define accurate.
I can put 10 shots thru a dime at 50yds every time, as long as wind is not a factor.
1" at 100yds is all I could ask from 22lr.
Some have found Aguila (hecho en Mexico) makes some decent low-velocity target ammo.
I have shot Federal Gold Match thru my CZ Varmint and Wolf Match beats the Federal, hands down.
Another ammo, hard to find around here, is SK Match, same as Wolf.
You're not going to find many bulk ammo deals for accurate ammo.

I shoot a bunch of 22lr every year at prairie dogs. Quality ammo works far better in the semi-auto's especially, but I have found that the cheap Federal boxes of 550 at Wal-Mart and elsewhere perform better than most of the other cheap 22lr. I bought about 8000 rounds of it last year and am still happy with its performance considering its cheap ammo.
