Guest stevo Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Has anyone tried them lately ? I used to use them many moons ago in my sako rimfire .22lr and found them to be pretty devostating out to 100 - 125 yards maybe a little more on a good day. I could have this wrong but I hi I they where around 175 ft lbs. I want to try some in my CZ 455 thumb hole. Question are they still as good as they used to be ?

steve_b_wales Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I had a few boxes, and found them to be totally inaccurate. I had as least 1 flyer out of 10. I even tried them in a different rifle, but that was almost as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Nasty round that was about as accurate as a Tory Manifesto - seem to recall that they were rumoured to damage the barrel if used over a long period of time - binned mine.

Rimfireboy Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I could only manage about two inch groups at 100 yards with yellow jackets if I remember right. They expand well for a .22 and kill well when they connect, but I didn't find them reliably accurate much beyond 50 yards though. Not seen any for a good few years, but then, I haven't been looking..

Dekers Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 No idea currently but I used the HV Yellow Jacket hollow points many years ago and found them to be accurate, reliable and consistent in my 452. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bornfree Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I used them years ago. If I remember correctly they shot spot on at 100 yards with my finfire zeroed at 60 yards with Winnie sub's. Which was handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Uggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just realised how old I am and how many years have passed by since I shot Yellow Jackets. I cannot remember what model 22 I had at the time but I also found them not super accurate and to be honest I discovered the 17 Remington about then, which handled those 150yrd bunnies much better, so the 22RF became a slinky keeny meeny silent close quarter combat tool and I went to Winchester Subs.

iano Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I bought a hundred or so some a couple of years back, still have a bunch left as they didn't work at all in the gun. Not accurate, went back to CCI subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heron Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Remington rimfire subsonic or hv used them in my Anschutz what a complete pile of **** out of frustration I had the ones I had bought weighed individually there was not two that weighed the same when you fired they either sounded like a sneaked out **** or a .223 going off. I now use RWS absolutely accurate and consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipper Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I've used Remington subs in my anschutz X1V like you said rubbish. Winchester subs are good Also cci minimags are good .Tried stingers 9 inches high at 100 yards so they were a no no .Dipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I've never found any Remington ammo that was really accurate. I bought a thousand .22 lR standard target and they were so inaccurate that on the 25 yard indoor small bore range they were all over the place. My Anschutz target rifle is so accurate that it will take the dot out every time. But I used these Remington rounds up as barrel warmers. Why is it that the US doesn't seem able to churn out top notch target ammo that gets to the masses. As for sporting 22 my rifle likes RWS best. In fact I like all RWS ammo.
