RWS came a close second in my annie,but eley came out on top

Winchester were like a shotgun in mine and have used cci for about 6 months or so and am happy with them.

 

I have 200 eley to try next as everyone rates them highly.

I found RWS zerod way low compared to Eley and WW subbies when I used them in an Annie. Could not work out why but never bought any more, accuracy was acceptable but no better than what I was using.

I use RWS Subs in my 452 and find them very accurate and very consistent. They are also very oily out of the box, so I use a kitchen towel to remove the excess. Great ammo.

Just goes to show how worthwhile it is to carefully test all types of available ammunition in your particular rifle. Just because xxxx shoots well in your mates similar rifle doesn't mean it will shoot well in yours.

 

For many years I shot Eley HP subs in my semi-auto with excellent results but around 3-4 years ago I found accuracy was dropping off, mainly due to inconsistent velocity so I switch to RWS HP subs. These gave good results but were a fair bit slower than the Eley.

 

I've now switched back to Eley and they are again performing well - It could well have been just a couple of batches that put me off.

I find them super greasy too and not as accurate as Eley subs in my 452

They go very well in my CZ452 as well. Very accurate and bunnies don't disobey.

RWS HP subs give the best accuracy in my 452.

thanks for all the feedback think will try the eley subs out as well after wot read on here and heard from other people sound like a good and constent round

hello, i tried eley/ winchester/and RWS in my new 455 .22 and found RWS best. the eley seemed to shoot high for some reason,? the winnies did not group well, testing at 50mtrs.

I found these best in my M&P 15-22, most accurate and they cycle the action well.

Eley HP subs work well in my Magtech semi auto, but have been unable to buy any local to me for years now, so switched to RWS subs and can't fault the recycling and accuracy at 50 yards, punching a 30 mm group compared to 25 mm with Eleys. The Eleys seem to knock the rabbits down harder, possibly due to a larger hollow point, than the RWS. This makes no real difference on a chest shot up to 60 yards. Winchester subs were a nightmare in comparison, 6 out of 10 failing to recycle, also being noisier than both of the others. With squibs and zingers in my batch of a hundred Winnies, it was impossible to judge the accuracy.
