Rhysmac Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi I have a cz455 in .22, it has a ask mod and with standard elocity rounds it is very quiet, i was wondering in your experience what are the best rounds to put through a .22 for rabbits and the occasional fox? all opinions welcome!

steve_b_wales Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Try different brands. Most rifles 'love' Winchester SuperX subsonics. I've used these for many years,in different rifles, without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drut Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Most CZ shoot well with Winchester or Eley,sometimes both.Mine likes Winchesters,Eleys & CCi Velocitors(Loud!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangerstox10 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 try different brands as each rifle is different I've know 2 of the same rifle not like the same ammo, but generally winchester or eley seem to do well by the way is the 455 a thumbhole version as thats what im looking at getting, whats your views on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 CCI velocitors are probably the hardest hitting .22's . 40 grain hollow point and 1425 fps. Probably the best .22 lr round for foxes. Subsonic HP's for rabbits, eley or Winchester Work well in most barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsim81 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Winchester super x cracking in my .cz style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Winchester Super X Subsonics are good and readily available. Eley subs group slightly better in my CZ452, but the difference isn't much, and in the field both will put down the rabbit at sensible ranges. You'll read here about how either sub will take rabbits all day at 100yds, but I've not found that, either my shooting or my rifle ( I suspect my shooting ) means 70yds is almost guaranteed but after that it's HMR for me. You might do better, but don't feel bad if you can't - you won't be the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1in9 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I switched to using Lapua/SK subsonics last year. They are a bit more consistent than Eley and still knock the bunnies over just as well. There is an interesting article in Shooting Times on the subject http://www.shootingtimes.co.uk/guns/195871/Subsonic_22LR_ammunition_review.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedwards1966 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Subsonic ammunition, as it's quieter and more accurate. I suggest trying Winchester ammo, it seems perfect for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb rifle. It devours Wini subs with great relish. It loves them with no hangfires as yet. Cycles beautifully. The rifle is nicely balanced, so much so that you could probably shoot it single handed. It fits in the hand so nicely and even with a Sac mod on it is not muzzle heavy.

Cycles beautifully. The rifle is nicely balanced, so much so that you could probably shoot it single handed. It fits in the hand so nicely and even with a Sac mod on it is not muzzle heavy. How would you go on if you wanted to shoot a rabbit over your right shoulder? I fancy one of these guns but recently read on here it's a bit difficult to shoot left handed with a right handed stock. This situation occurs when shooting out of the drivers window of truck and rabbit is almost behind you. I can do it easily with my standard model 2.

Jim c Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Eley subs go well in my cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyotemaster Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 CCI has a new offering on the market, a standard velocity tagged as a target round. The velocity is supposed to be 1080 and they seem to shoot very well in my Remington auto. Not terribly high at around $28 brick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win X and Eley HP both expand well, you can really hear the "WHUMP" when they hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I usually use eley as they've always been most accurate through my rifle with cci and Winchester close behind, This last batch don't seem quite as accurate though (new brick) I've shot most of them off now plinking just to get rid of them. I'm gonna give it a reall good clean and use the rest of the eley to dirty it up again then next time I stock up I'm gonna get a variety of subs and high velocity rounds and see if it likes any of them as much as eleys.

jacew Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 hi all, a little late I know but could be useful.. I use winchester subs all day long in my .22 cz with perfect shots and the for a little further or foxing I would use rem cyclone perfect also.. I used to use win lazers hv for the longer shot but the groupings are not as good as the rem cyclones cheers J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyotemaster Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Are they hollow points though ? Win X and Eley HP both expand well, you can really hear the "WHUMP" when they hit. Sorry for the lateness=== They are not hollow points though I wish they were. They are 40 gr solids but have been"solid" performers in both of my .22s. In the Ruger they will group on .6 at 50 yds which suits me for squirrel hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Eley subs for me through an Anshutz, group better than Winchester subs, so it's kind of worth driving to Suffolk to buy them.
