where you got it from m8

[bedwards1966]

Subsonic rounds (hollow-point) for hunting. They are more accurate and quieter than the higher velocity stuff (which offers very little extra power or flatter trajectory), the best choice for most hunting jobs.

 

I use Winchester 40g Super X subsonic quite happily, there are other brands available too, I'm sure they're all OK.

[shaun4860]

Win subs in mine too,

 

What model?

 

[redtailhawk1]

I get whatever is cheapest (40g hollow point subs), they all shoot fine in my CZ452.

[kent]

my cz likes SK subsonic (Lapua) but you can only realt tell the difference at the very much extended ranges. Buy a couple of boxes of what you dealer has and see what yours likes most

Ditto the majority of the above, Win Subs in mine. Nice and accurate, well made and good price. Others may be cheaper, but if you think about it, over the cost of a brick of ammo, it's nit worth bothering with.

Win Subs for me too, been using them for about 7 yrs now.

[Hornet 6]

Winchester subs here as well, most makes are accurate in my 452 but Winchester just keeps on working and I never have a problem getting them.

wish mine liked winchesters but lovely little groups with eley and RWS subsonics.

Eley subs

[dedger]

Used to shoot win subs in mine till my local supplier ran out, had to get eley subs instead but these were just as good.

I'm another happy Eley subs user. I find, in my rifle, they are accurate, quiet and reliable.

 

I would suggest you get a box or two of several different makes. Your rifle WILL perform differently with each type, you need to select the best, and in my mind that means the most accurate. If you are hunting you will usually want a sub-sonic hollow point.

 

When you are testing them, try to be serious about your accuracy. Shooting beercans at 30 yards is great fun but it wont tell you much about your group size at 80 yards.

 

Shoot from a really solid position, bi-pod or a good sandbag etc. Decide on your zero range, 50 yds would be a good starting point. When about zeroed (you will need to come back to this when you have selected your ammo) shoot groups of 5 shots at known ranges, buy yourself a pack of blank postcards for targets so you can write what range it was shot at and what bullet.

 

Once you have found the right ammo, go and buy a brick of 500 from the same batch and stick to that ammo, the rifle wont like changing and you need to get used to the drop of that exact round, don't expect the point of impact to be the same at 70 yards if you swap from Eleys to Winchester subs.

 

Don't go for the cheap option - I'm a tight wad but the few pence you might save buying sub-standard could work out expensive if you get one stuck up the spout and launch another up behind it.
