GreatOutdoors Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 My Anschtz is not particularly ammo. fussy fortunately and I run the Ely & RWS subsonic ammunition as it is usually readily available.The Eley and RWS subs also seem quite clean😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 The Eley subs will not work in my BRNO. Mod 2. Lucky if only ten per box misfire, often more. All other makes work fine. I usually use Winchester as they are less waxy than RWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 The best by far in my Anschutz carbine were the SK hollow points, but no sooner had I got through the 1st 1000 I bought I found out that they'd stopped producing them.

That is very interesting that Eley subs misfire in your BRNO (a nice rifle by all accounts).I wonder why? Yes, you also find the RWS subs waxy?..I do like the Winchester 42 grain subs as well - they run well in my Annie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I have the older 40g Eley Subs , which my CZ 452 loves , the new 38g Eley's do not seem as accurate ,and I have had the occasional non fire.! So I switched to CCI Subs , which so far have been reasonably good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK is great ammo.It (as you know) can be difficult to find.I am hoping to be able to get some soon. 1 hour ago, Longbower said: I have the older 40g Eley Subs , which my CZ 452 loves , the new 38g Eley's do not seem as accurate ,and I have had the occasional non fire.!

Yes, I have heard (many Times) the old Eley 40 grain was great ammo., which makes me wonder why Eley discontinued them.I am yet to try CCi in my Annie.Once lockdown is eased, will try them.

That would be disappointing if this was why Eley changed.The irony is this may have resulted in less folk purchasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK standard plus (yellow box} and the slightly better Match {red box} are fairly common these days. Excellent in all my. 22lrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.In East Anglia, I cannot find any RFDs that stock SK (either Standard or Match).I am however waiting as some are on order at an RFD not too far from me.I am looking forward to trying them as I have heard nothing but positive comments about SK ammo.

welshwarrior Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I have two Brno mod 2s both early versions one like Eley RWS Hornady Winnies and Remi the other Winnie SK Lapua Remi CCI and American eagle. I therefore use Winnies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remimax Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) don't use my brno semi-auto much as the sound or rounds zinging off just about everything freaks me out. reach for the hmr every time. tried calling my local rfd and e-mailing to see if they had any cci segmented subsonic rf in stock to try and restore the love for the thing. no reply as of 2 weeks ago useless.

Yerr, I’ve had quite a few sk’s from there, I don’t know anywhere else in Notts area who sells them. Only other places I’ve seen them is livens and forest lodge. Good accurate and consistent ammo imo😁👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
