Pick up a few different types at your local store and try them out. Every gun is a little different

.22 rimfire rifles are notoriously inconsistent on which types of ammo they like. Two rifles of the same make and model may shoot the same ammo differently.
The good news is that since .22 ammo is inexpensive, you can afford to buy a few boxes of many types/brands/weights/etc. to find which one works best and is most accurate for your needs.
Get a bunch of boxes, some targets, and head to the range for some experimenting.

The nice thing about a bolt gun is consistent feeding and extraction even with a wide variety of manufacturers. No worries about short cycling or sticking in the chamber.
I can get moderate accuracy at 50 yards even with cheap ammo in my bolt .22s. 100 yds takes more effort, more careful selection, and higher-priced ammo.

I agree with others, .22 are picky as heck. I have one that loves the ol' Winchester Wildcats the best and that is some cheap ammo. Another two love the CCI Mini-Mag HPs.
Buy a couple of brands and see what yours likes, half the fun :jester:
