PotHunter96 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Am aware that stingers should not be used in some firearms with tight chambers but just wondering is it safe to use cci velocitors in an Anschutz 1415-1416? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I can't see why they should be a problem in any rifle. I was not aware that stingers could be an issue in bolt action rifles either, although not so good for semi auto's. I used velocitors in my cz they were reasonably accurate at about 1 1/2 inch groups at 100 yds (not as good as sub sonics) and had plenty of knock down power.

PotHunter96 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I may just stick with the sub sonics I use eley and get good groups with them, wouldn’t like to risk damaging anything for a bit of extra power, was also thinking of something with a bit of a flatter trajectory until I can save enough for the hmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Why would you feed carlos fandango rounds to a gun like that? Plenty of power but accuracy is limited so why all the extra poke? Try RWS HP HV - sometimes hard to find but a real quality round that just gets the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotHunter96 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Was thinking they might be better for chest shooting crows and magpies at stretched ranges but if I can’t put them in the right place then will make no difference, will give them a try if I find some!

arjimlad Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 These are pretty accurate in my CZ bolt action, very confident with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As accurate or better than any HV I have used, fast with lots of energy and good terminal results. My only negative I found with them is they tended to be hard/tight to chamber!

Horses for courses ,no good in any of mine, or anyone else I know. Cant think of a single person in club or pest control i know who uses them?

The Remington Yellow Jacket 33g HP also did well for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 A bit late for this thread, but I found velocitors to work ok, although the rws high velocity.22’s have been spot on for me. Many people dismiss all the hv .22’s as inaccurate but if you find one that suits your barrel they are accurate. I just think that people don’t persevere with them. They have the advantage of a flatter trajectory and they definitely hit harder than subs. I’ve also found that rabbits sometimes take less notice of the crack of the hv’s than the impact of subs.

Thanks Not read all this yet, we need Daf here? Surely all chambers should conform to Saami specifications for the calibre concerned?

williamwansbeck Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Had a 1970's Krico semi auto it loved stingers,had a 22 inch barrel though right out to 100m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Never required anything above the 22RF Sub Sonic...if I did I took the 17HMR for a walk. I shot a fair amount of the HV style 22s before the 17HMR appeared on the market but upgraded to a 17 Remington as soon as I discovered it in 1986. These days I think anything above 22RF Subs are pointless when better, more accurate cartridges are out there. I have folk say well, you might be out and have a possible shot at 200yrds but then one at 10yrds ...no argument the 17HMR does it all in spades .... ok ok the old wind argument..well just learn to read th wind, not difficult. I used Stingers and Yellow Jackets in my old CZ and never had a problem but they have been overtaken by better choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
