Marlin 60s tend to like all things CCI. Most like CCI subs and standard velocity solids for range accuracy - and one of mine is also super accurate with
winchester powerpoint. CCI minimag a good hunting round. So mostly CCI but each rifle will also have its own preferences.
I think ruger need a kick in the ar*e for not fixing the accuracy issues with 10/22s. They can make good accurate rifles when they wish to and should have solved this problem decades ago. Otherwise than its accuracy problems its a good wee carbine. It is notable that the marlin 60 has outsold it 13m to 6 million over last 50 years. Best 10/22 variant we had is the lovely little 10/22 model 96 lever action. Quite accurate at 0.7" at 50m, and no weaknesses - a wee gem and one of the best wee hunter 22s I've come across. Ruger can do it when they try!
I'd like to hear more about the Lithgow 22 Andy - discussion on this on nzrimfire.
