apache Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 £4.50/50 Winchester subs, cheapest my RFD sells, group OK, kill the bunnies when I hit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Winchester for me too, although I think I pay more like £6 - £7 for 50... perhaps I should shop around! :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonevo Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I am using CCI subs they are costing me £6.00 per 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 The 2 that work best through my CZ are Remington subs (£6 per 100) and Eley subs (£4.50ish per 50). The Eleys are def more accurate; hole on hole at 55 yards, but the remingtons will give me 1/2" for less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiss.tony Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 same as most winchester subs 36 quid for 500 last time only hand 1 bad batch wat wood not eject other than that there fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game_boy Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) WGD.. Is that Bushwear? If so its been while since i've had to re-stock the rimmy there. Not much choice in Stirling accept Reekies maybe or Linlithgow but its not cost effective to drive all the way there just for ammo. Usually just stick to Bushwear cause its closer than anything else.

Bowen20 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 winchester subs about same price at most places 35 quid for 500 so quite a good price i think i like them very much they expand quick and seem to be very accurate althow i was using some eleys the other day and i didnt get one jam with the ruger 10/22 after 50 shots and i was impressed with them also. i get the odd jam now and again with winchesters.

No it was Dalry mate, it's been a while since I've bought any, I've been using the HMR - given what everyone else seems to be paying it was probably £7 a hundred.

farmshooter Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 cci segmented .22lr rounds, very quiet, kills in one hit, and stops the riccoshade problem most of the time if you miss or go through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never budges on price either - ended up going else where when i bought a rifle cause he wouldn't throw a box in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacker Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 SK (Lapua) £4.50. My Anshutz loves them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian750 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Did the pepsi challenge over the Chrimbo holidays with Winchester, Eleys and RWS, all hollowpoint subs. My CZ seemed to like the RWS and Eleys better than the Winchesters, but not by much. Eley and RWS are both £10/100 and Winchesters £7.50/100 (Different RFD who doesn't stock anything else!)round here. Edited to add:- All 3 brands kill very well indeed!!

Dekers Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Winchester seems to be doing ok here, the bullet is very similar to Magtech which I use, and have excellent results with, ie a MASSIVE HP which does a lot of damage and hits with a real thump. Many rate Eley Subs, Eley has it's background in competition ammo and most of their range is pretty accurate, but personally I have never been impressed with the overall performance of their Sub Sonic HP, it may be reasonably accurate but commonly it hardly expands at all in comparison with the likes of Magtech and Winchester. It's all a bit of a toss up really, many people like the Eley, and if it's accurate enough then having very little expansion isn't really going to be a problem!

You're right there mind you I've never had anyone beat him on gun price so I've bought a few from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
