shotgunny 39 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi mate I used then for rabbits just to try a few different rounds. In my opinion super x subsonics are the best. You also have the noise factor with them being supersonic. Just my opinion mate hope it helps . Atb myles Quote Link to post
HUnter_zero 58 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I haven't any experience of the Yellow jackets but my mate purchased 1000 Rem subs and what a mistake that was. No two rounds had the same muzzle velocity, a total waste of money and I have seen other complain of the same. My other experience of Remington's ammunition was to buy 100 of their grain SP bullets in .243, the dimensions are all over the place. However I love their 700's John Quote Link to post
fox_hunter 1 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I was thinking more close range foxes ! 40 - 50 yards Quote Link to post
shotgunny 39 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Subsonics will drop fox at that range mate Quote Link to post

lapin2008 1,587 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi has anyone used these before in their 22! How hard they hit? Atb Youlden I have used them before in my .22, They are (if i remember the spec on the box) about 20ft/lbs more powerful then subs, but i found them to be rubbish due to the extra noise, they are also less accurate, i found groups go from about half inch at 50yds to about an inch and a half. I wont buy any again as would rather have the accuracy/relative silence over the small amount of increase in power atb Quote Link to post

andyf 144 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi has anyone used these before in their 22! How hard they hit? Atb Youlden Yes I've shot those cone nosed crackers a few times, I think I've still got most of a box left in my cupboard somewhere? Anyway they are very loud, and not very accurate if compared to milder HV stuff like Winchester Lazer and Velocitor,(which are GOOD). But also in fairness they are no worse than Stingers, probably a bit better. My experience is that a good subsonic through a decent Rifle/Scope will kill anything .22 legal with ease, HV is a little bit more powerful but really not very much! The only time I would consider HV on a regular basis is if I had a semi-auto to get better cycling reliabilty, and as I've had several semi's in the past I won't be going down that road again!

CHEERS AndyF It is going to come down to circumstances, quarry and rifle! The Yellow Jacket HP were probably the BEST HV in my CZ and certainly more accurate than the CCI Velocitor, supply issues led me to use more Velocitors though. Simple fact is neither were great at all, and my .22lr has been a dedicated sub sonic tool for many years now! The HV are ok for occasional use, but if you find you have a regular need for more grunt than .22lr SUBS then seriously consider a .22WMR or HMR. Quote Link to post
