bullet1747 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Evening chaps Took the 22 RF out for a change , the rifle shoots any ammo prity accurate to be fair , thought I'd try some Remington thunderbolt HV , my word never realised how much difference in sound there was to the others I use , was like shooting with a mod off ,looks like these will be stuffed to the rear of the cabinet any one else notice this or just my ears Edited June 5, 2016 by bullet1747 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 When I got my CZ, my first target practice was with HV rounds. Not quiet at all! Haven't touched them since, although I'm interested in the real world ballistics versus subsonics. I suspect they shoot a little flatter.

Good shot? Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 They shoot flatter all right but it spoils the pleasure of shooting 'almost' silently with subsonic rounds.Might as well use the HMR if high velocity and flatter shooting is required in my opinion.

"the HMR" ? Not everybody has one. Handy to have a few hv's for when a longer shot presents, if you find an accurate round. I find rws hv's to be very accurate in my anschutz.

Vince Green Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 A lot of the HV ammo has accuracy problems but its good fun to rip through a 25 rd mag full with a 10/22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) ............. I find rws hv's to be very accurate in my anschutz. RWS HP HV's copper washed. Also very accurate in my Annie 1417. Edited June 6, 2016 by Whitebridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like .22LR and accept it's limitations, but if HV rounds can give me a little extra accuracy at range, I may use them on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few to try and thought it would be just the aim point a little higher but found they were up to the left about 50mm at 50m so would need to re zero. So only subs now.

It's just a matter of trying as many different ones as you can until you find some that suit your rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY R Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 In my 452 the eley subs are what i use, i tried a few types of high vellocity rounds for accuracy, i found expediters were about the worse high and to the right, but Yellow jackeyts were a little better but still off to the right, But Winchester lazers were just a little high at 50m and smack on for windage. So i have a few in in case i need a bit more from the LR anytime. You just got to look for something that suits your gun and set up close enough to be practical, i was lucky i found something that worked great.
