Hunter123456 0 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Try CCI subsonic. I first used Winchester super X but everyone u needed a knife to get them out barrel, so I swapped to CCI and haven't looked back. Grouped alot better and dont jam I'm putting them through a.

cyclonebri1 8 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I swore by winchester subs for years, but for absolute accuracy Eley subs group much tighter, 1/2" groups at 60yds against 1 1/2" with winnys. BUT, that's me and my gun, you try 'em all and judge for yourself. Quote Link to post
dadioles 68 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 When I bought my CZ .22LR's I tried half a dozen different makes of ammunition and was amazed at how different they all were. In my case the Ely subs would not chamber easily and were very tight making the bolt action too stiff. CCI were shooting all over the place. Winchester subs were quite good. I found that both of my guns like the SK .22LR Subs made by Lapua and I buy 500 of these (same batch) at a time. Zeroed at 50 yards I get 1" or better groups at yards with a 4" drop. Unfortunately these rounds are slightly more expensive than most but the quality is very good. The bottom line is that every gun is different, even the same model. You really must try half a box of as many makes as possible and when you find one that your gun likes buy lots and stick to it. It will take a few shots to settle the gun down to each type so don't base your decision on just a couple of rounds of each. Look on the bright side, for about 25 quid you can spend a large part of a sunny windless day having fun popping at targets at 50 yards or whatever distance you prefer. Quote Link to post
trentotter 158 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 try the rws subsonic hp's better than winnie's in my opinion,but a tad more money!!!! Quote Link to post
tom 2 9 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I used eley subs in mine but they were tight fit in chamber sometimes breaking the bullet took them back to the dealer he told me try winchester never had any problems since. Quote Link to post
mattydski 560 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 we shoot thousands of Winnie subs a year.. you do have to keep the chamber clean.. and the ejector lugs clean.. but no miss fires, very accurate, and the results speak for them selves.. Quote Link to post
