Newbie to this Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Has anyone tried the newish https://eley.co.uk/eley-action-500-bulk-pack/ around £65 a 1000 in the bulk boxes Or the https://eley.co.uk/eley-action-plus-500-bulk-pack/ around £77 a 1000 Thinking of giving one of them a try, and was wondering if anyone had any experience of them, good or bad.

Mr.C Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Gave up on Eley 22lr after too many misfires. Admitted an old and well used target rifle but I was getting about 1 in 15 light strikes. Changed to RWS and not a one since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 I've bought their subsonics on many occasion. They have always worked well and have stopped rabbits perfectly good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishy735 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Have used about 2k of them, never had a problem. Good rabbit stopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have put 2000 through it since I bought it. I've even ran them through my semi-auto without a hitch. 1 hour ago, Imperfection said: I've bought their subsonics on many occasion.

Thank you both Think I will get a box of 500 and give them a try, once we are allowed back out to play of course.

Cheshirelad Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 The Eley Action is similar to CCI Standard, and the Eley Action Plus is similar to CCI MiniMag. The first batches of Eley Action seemed to be OK. Fairly accurate and reliable, but the last lot I bought had so many FtF's that I gave up on them. I haven't tried Action Plus, so I can't comment on 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get them in a 50 box as well, so if it doesn't function as it should I only have 50 to get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Eley subsonic just will NOT work in my old BRNO Mod. 2. Accuracy is fine if you can get one to fire. The rifle never misfires with any other brand I have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I would be up for trying a 500 tub or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have replaced the BRNO with a CZ and Eley are fine, or even very good tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
