Raptor1971 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just thought I would ask if anyone has been having any problems with the Winchester .22 subsonic amo. I'm only asking due to this mornings experiences. Went out early doors to sort a fields out but had nothing but problems with my amo. Out of the first 10 shots 9 dropped short on 50 - 70 yard shots and by a good 10 - 15 yrds each. I'm using a Ruger 77/22 with hawk sights. I've been using this amo all week and have had a few do this and a few hitting the rabbit ( head shots and shoulder shots ) but not penetrating from 40 yrds or so. I've spoken to my supplier and he said he's had no other reports. Any suggestions as today I could have had 23 bunnies if this had not been occurring cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor1971 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 the ones in the dark box are the ones I'm using now or should I say was using, I've never had a problem before this with Winchester, I'm out tomoz morning and giving the Lupua a go I just hope they don't give me any problems having been sent a picture of the barley field by the farmer showing around 50 or so sitting out today so I want a good and a good bag for him.

Raptor1971 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I tried them a while back and they didn't suit the gun at all but I suppose they are worth another go cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgguinness Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Win Subs work a treat in my 452, mind you I'm still using the last of the ones I have on stock. They are in the mid blue box, down to my last 150 so will be needing some more soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Black box subs through my rifle are fine. Rabbit at 125 yards the other week. Had 5 the other night from 10-60 yards. No misses. Edited May 31, 2013 by 39TDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgguinness Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Winchester Lasers are in a black box too, so are they doing them all in black boxes now?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet169 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 had both types and both are spot on through my cz 452 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholiath Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Black box are hv lazers blue box are new subs white box are old subs i had issues with newbie box subs through a semi auto with cycling issues the rifle used to cycle faultlessly with old white box subs. My red told me the olin factory which makes the ammo in Australia moved location and at the same time changed to blue box? Don't know if this is correct?
