LR SUPERSONIC??

[bazzab]

Hi all.

 

Having sold my HMR recently, I now only have LR.

 

Have tried a couple of supersonic rounds down it and not found anything it likes.

 

Could I ask people to list supersonics they use please?

 

I know every rifle different etc. But help me build up sort of list thats available?

 

 

Sincere thanks for your time..

 

Bazza.

Most supersonic/hypersonic .22LR bullets are not as accurate as sub sonics. I did find that Winchester Lasers, fired through my CZ 452 were about the best though.

[dipper]

Tried stingers in my anschulz xiv shot over a foot high then cci minimal they were good same as my sub sonics Dipper

[rich1985]

Think the ones I had were Remington yellow jackets, were good but group not fantastic.

[Imperfection]

Like Steve,Winchester Lasers are accurate.They come in a no frills black cardboard box,but not everywhere sells them.

 

I find Stingers are ok in my CZ511 too.

[BooBooEH]

Stingers are good in my Anschutz as well... not a lot walks away once hit.

I feel, if you're going to shoot HV ammo in the LR you would have been better to stick with the HMR.

 

The real plus point of the .22LR is it's ability, when moderated and shooting subsonic ammo, to be almost silent.

[sixhills 69]

I use Remington yellow jackets or cci stingers butch kill at 100+yards they have a higher point of aim to a subsonic round so you will need to re zero your scope not the subsonic settings and you can dial it back to original zero.

CCi Velocitors as accurate as subs through my CZ452,RWS High velocity accurate through my BRNO 581.Neither rifle accurate with what suits the other.11

[bazzab]

That's fantastic. Thank you very much everyone. Really appreciate that.

[welshwarrior]

If you want accurate 22 high velocity rounds get a WMR. I've tended to find when playing with them the gain the high velocity gives in range it takes away in accuracy.

I had one expection to that a 10-22 that accurately grouped stinger at 100 yards about 1"

but no other rifle I tried got close.

[Alpha Mule]

Have only tried Magtechs. They hit about an inch high at 50m. Reasonably consistent but the packaging is pants.

[kent]

cci velociters in mine but I cant see the point subs are so much better

[Tollerman]

Local gunsmith told me that the shortage of CCI .22 ammo was due to a container on its way to the UK that got lost in transit .

[bazzab]

I have half a box of Eleys you can have for free, to collect

 

 

Now that's an amazing offer thank you very much buddy.

 

Where abouts are you? (On me phone!!)

[bazzab]

Really appreciate everyones input, thank you.

 

 

Just to clarify, wife has started uni so its cut back finance city for next few years. Had to sell HMR as was basically new and lot of £££ in me safe.

 

So me thinking is try to find some HV that my LR likes so I can have that bit of extra wack.

[team tractor]

My last lr loved cci HV

 

1/2 " groups at 50 yards

[bazzab]

Woodstock by day. Chipping Norton by night.

 

Ah ******, your a bit far buddy. Thank you very much though.

 

Really kind offer.

[Bewsher500]

what are you shooting and at what range?

 

I use subs all day long out to 100-110

go further if I bothered to use a range finder

 

they will group an inch or near enough at 100yds which is good enough for anything I shoot

its rare that I need to stretch to that to be honest but 40-90yds is the norm

 

I have a .17M2 as well though

that is what the .22lr HV should have been!

I chest shot a hare at around 110-115yds the other day and it just flopped sideways, where it stood.

no exit, minimal damage

 

shot a 3/4 sized bunny at similar range and pulled it slightly entering just rear of where it should

similarly no exit, had to search for an entry!

 

marvellous calibre!

Are you in the south of Scotland or the north of England? (Not sure which wall you're referring to!)

Rabbits etc. Range tends to be 40-70ish as a approx figure.

 

Always nice to be able to have that extra wack if charlie appears.

 

Thsts a interesting point you make, ive read a fair people use subs out to a fair old distance.

[welshwarrior]

40-70 that's well within subs range, just learn the drop of your rifle to get your hold points and you can extend that with some practise to 120 yards, but you'll need to practice with the rifle and ammo but also distance judging.

no need for more energy at that range

I have lost count how many greedy foxes have caught a 40gr sub in the noggin for being nosey and coming in to a squeak!

Also took one in the bib at about 65-70yds with a Win Sub. not advisable but well within its capabilities

 

went about 15 yds. dead on his feet

[Salop Matt]

I tryed several hyper sonic rounds in the brief time I had my CZ452 .22lr and they were all terrible none would do an inch group past 40yards.

I'm not trying to be a smartypants or any such thing, but my question about your location was prompted by you saying that you "chest shot a hare the other day".

 

If you were south of the border, or if it was a mountain hare, or if you have a licence to shoot brown hares as agricultural pests, fine. But there's a seasonal restriction in Scotland on the shooting of brown hares now - they can't be taken between 1st February and 30th September.

 

As I said, I'm not trying to be smart or holier-than-thou. I just don't want to see someone getting into bother for popping one out-of-season.
