jgguinness Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 How much did zero shift, compared with 40g subs I would be interested in this too, as my CZ loves Win Subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm not easy with the segmented subs, the bullet breaks up toooooo easily for my liking, so, as long as it is the same bullet and they group, these lower powered Quiets may be useful in some situations. I'll have to track down a box and give them a try, what sort of money are we talking about?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feaks Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I paid about £3.20 (50) for mine, haven't tried them yet . Hoping they're more accurate then the usual low velocity ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) What is the weight of the actual bullet and how much energy or speed in relation to the bullet weight so I might work this out? Actual if possible not box data if anyone has these facts. just looked on CCI web page 40 grn round nose 710 fps at muzzle, 45 ft lb (36 ft lb at 100yds) long rifle case size 1.5" high at 25yds gives 50 yds Zero. seems a lot of Oomph! for ferals indoors? maybe shooting squizzers out of trees like I was thinking might be a bad plan Edited January 23, 2013 by kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx10mike Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) did these not go through the roof and kill things a mile away?thought they would have to much energy to use indoors? happy to learn Edited January 23, 2013 by zx10mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin lad Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 as kent said they are 40grain 45 ft lb doing 710 fps, i found with my winnies with a zero at 60 yards the quiets are good at 30 yards but start to drop off quickly, i did a thread a while back on accuracy i find them very good at 30 yard they are bullet on bullet unlike the cb caps i tried a while back, as for holes in the roof i only heard one go through pigeon and hit roof after metel roof and didn't see a hole in it and as for the farmer being after me they were shot on the farm where i work and he asked me to shoot them so any damage then his fault hehe i would recommend them to anyone, Dekers how far are you from Bedford if you not too far i may be able to get a box to you, price i am not sure as i got 300 of these and 300 winnies and 500 hmr only looked at final bill sorry colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam1e Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Nice bit of info. Especially as i have some rats to deal with in a barn. Alas, after phoning my nearest 2 dealers, 1 had never heard of them, but would see if he could get hold of some, failing that he had some CCI CB's. The other said "they're new so not out yet"......

kent Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Spoke to Malmo earlier in the week they aint even on the newly issued trade list. bought per 1000 they are £33, will try some out of interest but only when I can get a few together to split. I thinks they are a bit too much for rats in a barn or ferals most of the time 50ft lb from a 40grn bullet is going to go a long way and do a fair bit of bouncing about I recon. open ground in the middle of know were they might be ok shot upwards at steep angles?

bazzab Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Well i took my Anschutz .22 out today to check zero and to do some paper punching. As not really used it at all. Put a box of winchester subsonic threw it and zero'd a treat. Very impressed. I had some cci Quiets to try as well. And i have to say my god there quiet i was amazed. The difference is pretty big imo. Didn't affect zero either just as long as I kept distances sensible. As Colin said they do drop off quick. So i went and picked 5 boxes up. Fantastic bit of kit can see me getting threw fair few of these. Cheers Compo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslad Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Any idea wot these bullets will be like outdoors for shooting rabbits, i'm meaning how bouncy will they be compared to normal subsonic ammo. I'm i right in thinking same weight of bullet (40gr) travelling at a slower speed should be richocet prone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were terrible in my CZ 452! All over the place in the grouping! And it was only at 25 yards, (The length of the grain store). checked mounts were tight, pulled the bore snake through a few times but still no better. The best group was around 1 1/2"! I thought i'd try a few of my CCI segmented subs. 3 rounds through the bull. Clearly the CB's don't suit my gun! What a p*****! :( I decided i'd use the sub segs instead, but with alot of caution. The barns brick construction anyhow with what looks to be very thick corrigated asbestos! As it turns out i only saw the one rat in the barn, and christ was it big! The CCI segmented subs done the job a treat and not a sound of ricochet! I was well impressed. For one shot anyhow.....
