Your best Rimfire ammo - SB Western Silhouette

Two Uberti 66’s one a 1989 the other 2020.
Both like SK high velocity Match and CCI SV. Fellow competitors thankfully recommend the SK HV otherwise I probably wouldn’t have tried the noisy hard kicking stuff.
Both hate Eley High velocity.
Both run a risk of any fired Eley squeezing through the lifter while ejecting. Soft Eley cases are bad news in a Uberti 66 chambered in 22LR.
The 2020’s top accuracy preference is the very expensive Norma long range. The 1989 is the SK HV match.
Off a bench With a tang rear and Lyman 17a the listed ammo will hold 1 to 1 1/2 moa @ 100. Many other choices have been tested over the years with results of 2-5 MOA. Neither of the rifles (or perhaps the user) are top accuracy performers and are finicky about what they shoot good enough.
