Hyper velocity .22 LR cartridges?

What are your experiences with the hyper velocity (Federal Spitfire, Remington Yellow Jacket & Viper ammuntion, CCI Stinger, Winchester Xpiditer (if it's even still made), ect, ect) .22 LR ammuntion?
I tried some of them years ago....the .22 Stinger cases were too long for my semiautos (Ruger standard MkII & Remington Nylon 66) and the empty cases would jam the gun; accuracy was not all that great, and the one rabbit I did shoot with the stuff (yellow jackets) was mostly a big chunk of blood shot meat.

Now, MI law requires that night hunting for predators (fox & coyote) be done with either a shotgun or a rimfire rifle.....I have a .22 magnum for said purpose, but my friend has only a 10/22, and isn't interested in buying a .22 magnum. Have any of you used this ammo for said purposes (fox & yote)? To be fair, it's been 25+ years since I tried them.

Thanks in advance for any info you can give me......
