Problems with Winchester SUBs


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

bought last week 2 new boxes of Winchester Hollow Point SUBs. The Olin made stuff.

I recognized that the ammo shots a little less accurate and some cartdriges are louder than the others. I am shooting with a SAK silencer.

 

Did somebody had the same problems?

 

Now what to try? How are Remington Subs and CCIs?

i am in Germany. I had two boxes bought a couple months ago for rabbit shooting. They shoot well and first of all NO louder ones.

The two boxes i got lately are the same lot number but i had a couple flyers and some louder ones.

 

Sk subsonic are also good but prone to ricochet.

Does anyone use CCI Velocitors? I bought a box a while back and didn't get on with them as my cz452 likes subs (oddly enough, RWS and Eleys are fine).

Anyway no point these sonic rounds sitting in my ammo safe, so any takers? (FOC of course).

Naturally a quick FAC look to be sure, as you would expect.

Just counted, I've got 30 left.

 

Cheers,

i had a spell of trying a few different rounds and winnies did it for me but what was a surprise was rws dynamic they are a high velocity round i shot 5 and they all grouped in a clover leaf about the size of a penny at 60ish meters was so shocked i kept the target and took it to my local dealer i got them from just to show him

I am sorry i couldnt reply faster. All my post were checked by a moderator. Is this normal.

 

I firstly was very pleased with the winchester. But now! Some of the rounds had a supersonic crack and a couple flyers.

 

Thanks Colin but i live in Germany! Very kind. And, i got already a box of Eleys. They shoot very decent. RWS Subs suck bad. Very expensive (9€ a box) and are not precise out of my modified TOZ 17-01!

This happened to me a good few years ago, a lot out of the box were over the speed of sound, hence the loud crack. I mentioned it the next time I was down the gunshop, he in turn told the rep.

 

His answer was "out of all the 22 Winchesters that are made, you've bound to get a few over the top" :look:

 

I still use them to this day...better than any Eley (you just pay for the name), :yes:

 

I also rate RWS, very accurate, but a bit to pricey to run all the time.

Yep, mine were checked for a while (still are! ;) )

 

 

 

Hi Colin, if no-one has urgent need of the surplus eleys, I wouldn't mind taking them off your hands and saying hi. I'm not far from Bedford.

We could swap unless you don't get on with Velocitors.

Recently had vermin added to my FAC and I have been trying various rounds through my 10/22 and 795....

I tried a variety of sub sonics. The winchester's did not group well at all at 50 yards, it was messy 2" group and i'm not that bad a shot.....Tried Eley subs and got this down to just on 1/2 inch. I have some remington subs but not opened the brick up yet as I am very pleased with the Eley. Also tried CCI Stingers out of curiosity, again got good groupings but hell of a crack even with the mod (only to be expected).....I'll give the Remington a go and see what the grouping is like but I suspect I will stick with the Eleys.....

Also I had feed/cycling problems with the Winchester, no sign yet of problems with the Eley....

I didn't get on with the Winchester Subs through my CZ at all, they just weren't accurate enough and I found myself getting some flyers. I use either Remington and Eley now, Eley is slightly more accurate (maybe a 1/4") but the Remingtons are a lot cheaper.

I must have gone through about 500 Remington subs in my CZ and I have yet to have this problem or any other problem. I think you must have just had a bad batch.
