Handymike,
In .22LR, the Winchester offering typically performs much better than the CCI for me. Neither perform like a good lead load, but they will keep you legal.
In .22 Magnum, both the CCI and Winchester offerings perform ok. Again, not as good as their lead counterparts, but similar enough. Hornady also offers a Lead Free option, but I've never tried it.
If you're just looking to shoot some varmints, I would stick with the Magnum. The LR just doesn't seem to "anchor" game as well.
