Richo85 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi all. Was wanting some advice on cci velocitor rounds for .22 rimfire. I currently use winchester subs and have never used hv rounds and was wanting something a bit quicker and with a bit more thud. is sound going to be an issue?, I have a sak mod on my cz 452. Thanks for reading Atb brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Velocitors are loud...real loud.Your Sound mod wont make a bit of difference. I do use them though along with Stingers,but daytime only for those wabbits a wee bit further away and when noise isnt an issue.I tried Stingers while lamping once at 11.00pm and it sounded like i'd fired my K98 Mauser. There are other options if you want to try HV. Minimags are nice and punchy too,but a little cheaper than Stingers and Velocitors.Suggest you try few brands to see what your rifle prefers.

Underdog Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 They are a good performer, if you are sensitive to noise stuff some bog roll in your ears.....problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richo85 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yea I knew they would be a bit louder but ill have to see. I saw the mini mags bit there 36g and I thought they wus be a bit light??. I do a few hrs before light to scope area normally then get the lamp out once dark enough. Probably use the hv for day then and the subs for night if they really are that loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Mini mags are 40 grain and I love them in my semi auto . Almost as loud as a hmr tho I've used 800+ now and can't fault them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I took my 22 out last evening and took some Federal gameshok's HVHP. They are very good I know but last night I aimed at a pebble in some dirt at a guessed 100yds off hand and hit it! Tried again on a second and just snook down the side of it. Bet they were only 1&1/2" across! Only got a 4x scope on it too! The crack rippled through the whole village Gotta keep them all educated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richo85 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Are they, I'm almost sure the mini mag pack I picked up was 36g. Any how's I think I'll try 50 mini and 50 velocitor and see how they cycle. I'm out tomorrow night so ill let you know how I get on. Should be a good night. Had 15 bunnies last outing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richo85 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Underdog are they defo a daytime round then due to noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Underdog are they defo a daytime round then due to noiseMatey...I use them whenever I want! When I use to sell rabbit and shot dozens a night if it was windy we used HV just to help with windage. The noise thing is a bit of a red herring in my opinion.What may seem quiet to us is often not to wildlife! Some just find it a more pleasant experience being quiet and some dont mind making a noise...thats all there is to it :-). U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richo85 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Looks like a trip down to gun shop today then. I don't mind the sound. Quite like a good shot sound as long as it doesn't spook to much. I'll see tonight if everything disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 My .22lrs are dedicated sub sonic tools these days, if I want a bit more I use the HMR or WMR. But back in the day I found the Velocitors and Rem Yellow Jacket HP the best High velocity performers for my guns and uses! As others have said, you need to try a few in your gun!

bicykillgaz Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 i use remington thunderbolts in mine and dont find them that loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richo85 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Just picked up 50 cci velocitors for later so we will see. Been thinking about a 17 hmr for a bit extra. Nice to have more choice. Also picked up 50 rws subs to compare with the winchester subs. Anybody tried both? And what are your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think you have a faulty sound mod! No,it works fine-with subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 The rws sub years ago were quite slow....dunno about now but they were very accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richo85 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yea a lot of people have said there very accurate. Had a trip to another gun shop in my local area that I've never been into before. I knew it was a mistake, having walked out the the shop with a new toy. 17 hmr cz 452. Synthetic stock, stainless barrel and sak mod. With a 50 mm scope. £375. Couldn't resist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) RWS HP subs are a very good bullet as are the RWS HP High Velocity........in my gun. I haven't found a better .22lr HV round. Edited May 21, 2014 by Whitebridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richo85 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 So chaps, found that the rws subs are a lot more accurate than my old Winchester subs. Looks like I'll be changing and keeping the winnies for emergency. as for the cci velocitors, there bloody evil, as everyone has said they are quite loud, but OMG there deadly.. very quick and accurate as you'd expect but as I'd never fired hv round it was a bit of a shock just how quick and accurate they are.

Richo85 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yea I know but it was a shock. Big smile on face tho as they sound the dogs. Just got a hmr and will be out in a few days with that so even bigger smile soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I find HV rounds less accurate than subs in my CZ. Though to be fair, I only tried one flavour of HV and lots of flavours of subs so I could choose the best for my gun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm with Whitebridges-stick with RWS and save yourself a whole load of grief-the subs and HP HV are superb if you can get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richo85 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi Brno. Yea after having tried the rws subs I have to agree. Really quiet and very accurate compared to my other winchester subs. Haven't tries the rws hv yet but will grab a box and see. Also found having zero'd at 50 yards with the cci velocitors. And then switching to subs at the same distance I had a drop of about an inch.
