Jsb hades, jsb 15.89 (cousin to hades) or the jsb 18 grain all perform fantastic out of every 22 fx liner ive ever shot. Jsb monster redesigns will too, which means monster hades as well.

I got a .22/600mm DRS specifically for squirrel hunting and have been using JSB 18.13 pellets with good results.
The JSB 15.89 pellets also work well, just found that the 18.13 to shoot a bit better. I'm typically seeing 1/2" or so groups at 40 yards with unsorted pellets in light breezy conditions. In practical situations (leaning against a tree for support) minute-of-a-squirrels-head accuracy out to 50ish yards has not been a problem.
I tried several other brands of pellets and settled on the JSBs.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

I have the FX 25.4 grain pellets (same thing as the JSB 25.4) out of my daystate revere and they're laser accurate. Im pushing them at around 700 fps to get 27 ftlbs of energy and they do a superb job for squirrels, chipmunks, and the occasional groundhog that eats up the garden. If you want a faster velocity I suggest going for the "JSB hades 15.89gr" pellets. they're hollow points so they're also very good for hunting, though I've found they can make a little pop when they impact due to them expanding, whereas the 25.4 grains are relatively silent.
