steve b Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Just thought I would ask which is your favoured .22 subsonic ammo for hunting, I have just got to the end of my supply and am going to buy several makes and test them all under the same conditions at 60 m zero to see which my krico semi likes best. Let me know which ones you like and why so I know which ones I should add to my test list. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I use the Winchester subs in my Ruger 77/22. Have tried CCI but found I was getting too many crack offs. Have also tried RWS - very quiet but found them to be a fair bit less powerful - would say ok to use if most of your shooting is @ 40 yds.

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I see that you use a Krico semi auto. In any bolt action that I have owned I have found that Eley subs have always been the most accurate - and I have owned several makes of bolt action (Brno, Sako, Anschutz, Krico) However, for a semi auto I have found that the extra 'oooomph' in Winchester subs gives additional reliability with reasonable accuracy compared to Eleys. There is nothing more infuriating when using a semi than getting misfeeds, and the extra power of Winchesters help in this regard. I have never fired a Krico semi, but have owned Brno, Ruger and Anschutz semi's. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mry716 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Its dependent on your rifle. But despite all the bad comments Remington HV Thunderbolt solids at £25 per 1000 seem to be the thing in my 10/22 for rabbits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Best Grouping = Eleys, thats why the target guys use them. If your shots are always rested and you can put your hand on your heart and say you always get head shots these will do for you. Expect a few runners though if you hit the boiler room. Best Thwack = Winnies. You will hear the consistently harder thunk as they connect flesh or bone. Part of that noise may be due to the larger hollow in the point allowing it to mushroom better, they certainly do more damage. They also shoot about 40mm higher than the Eleys at 60 yards - which suggests a slightly higher muzzle velocity. That was with my 10/22. Not tried Eleys in my Quad - and don't intend to try the greasy things again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 my friend an i were out with his .22lr last nigth shooting a few targets, we were getting a group of about 3 to 4 inchs with 5 shots at 150 yard using federal high velocity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badsworth Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 CCI subs in my CZ for most things and a spare mag with CCI stingers or velocitors for Charlie if he shows up. Because all CCI rounds are copper washed (not greased) you can swap between types and the gunfires true from the first round (but the hi velocity rounds have a different trajectory so you need both sets of data).

Lurch Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I use Winchester but would use Eley if the LGS stocked them. I wouldn't touch CCI with yours, look good and are clean but much more inconsistently loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
