I have a rogue-infiltrator type who just got his small yet grubby hands on a Quick-Loading hand crossbow. Quick-Loading is from the MIC and allows you to store up to 100 bolts in a magical imaginary space and load them in the crossbow with a thought, as a free action. You even get to choose which one gets loaded.

I am now trying to gather all types of bolts available to get maximum utility out of this. Can you help me track down the different sorts of (crossbow) ammunition in printed material?

I'll offer up Bane and Magebane as being handy for some damage.

Spell storing would be good, if your DM says it would work.

Fountainhead arrows should be in the MiC. Costly, but being able to create geysers of acid that last for a few rounds is something worth abusing in narrow corridors.

Poison is also a good thing to look at. If you are not high enough level that everything is immune, a few arrows poisoned and loaded ahead of time can really mess up someone's day.
