minghis Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 The rabbits are getting more spooky, they all seem a bit further away (100 yds seems more like it now..) and after 10 years plus I've finally decided to try HV's instead of Subs in my rimfire. I love the noise and initial results are that they're much harder hitting (obviously) with the couple of bunnies I shot but I was shocked at how much I had to change the zero, I went 16 clicks down and they're still a tad high at 60 yards so I guess I have a zero of about 75 yards. Did half a zero job last night as it was a bit windy so a bit more work to do on that one. The ones I'm using are Winchester Lazers as I had some lying around, no other reason. Anyone else made the change? What do you zero at, do you notice the longer range and how do you get on with accuracy? I hear and see loads of reports and advice on which subs are best but which HV's do you favour? Any advice/thoughts appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin lad Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 the only hv rounds i can get to give a reasonable group with are cci velocitors you may not want to hear it but you would be much better of with a hmr for longer range shooting colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Most rifles are more fussy with HVs. You can still get good accuracy but its try it and see. Why not try some standard velocity first?. Now the weather is getting a bit better a morning shooting groups might be good fun and informative.

bazzab Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Same as Colin lad. HMR all the way for that sort of distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Shot thousands of lasers, they are good. My gun likes most, Federal, CCI and RWS but the one that seems to work in most barrels I found was the Eley HV HP. The one that seems the most barrel fusy and expensive is CCI stinger, saying that I did shoot some bloomin' longn's with them! Remington seems a bit hit and miss between batches! U.

Dekers Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Many years back I used subs and CCI Velocitors in the .22lr, the subs had a 60 yards zero which from memory gave me pretty much a spot on zero of 100 yards with the Velocitors, the Velocitors were very tight to chamber in my CZ and would never win any prizes for accuracy. I quite rated the Remington Yellow Jacket HP, 33g and 1500ft sec, they didn't carry quite the energy of the Velocitors but were more accurate and the HP performed better than the Velocitors, so they were the favourite, but a struggle to get hold of for me! Then along came the HMR and the .22lr became a dedicated sub tool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
