Rat Destroyer 12 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yokel why wouldn't you use CCI and what principal ? something i should know Quote Link to post
seprim 32 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi Lapua subs are best groupers in my cz 452 Winchester are loose and dirty - but good for plinking Eley and RWS subs also good groupers Andrew Quote Link to post
hutchey 147 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Are those Lapuas that good? I'm getting good groups with my Winchester subs. Tried CCI and they were crap out of my barrel, same with RWS. Quote Link to post
Yokel Matt 918 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yokel why wouldn't you use CCI and what principal ? something i should know I bought a brick of 500 and they went snap, crackle pop mate. Accuracy was no way near Eley or Winchester and velocity must have ranged from sub 12ft lb airgun to HV! Being a perfectionist and all to ready to blame my tools for my own ineptitude, vowed never to return. Quote Link to post
Rat Destroyer 12 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 i am glad i saw your post because i nearly went and bought some just because they are cheap glad i never. there packaging look very professional and can sway you into thinking they are better than they are. were as SK look crap in the packet but shoot mint. i thought for killing rabbits they would be a cheap alternative but all i would of ended up doing is injuring rabbits and making them suffer and i would rather kill them outright so i am glad you enlightened me.

GEOFF.223 83 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Was out checking zero on my rifles yesterday lifted 3 boxes of different .22 subs win eley and lapua all very accurate but eley was the most consistent giving me 3/4" groups at 50yards I did 5 groups with 5 shots of each round they were all around the " mark so really they will all do the job fine Quote Link to post

Cheers Daz CCI's might work fine in your rifle fella. Just because somebody else didn't get on with them doesn't necessarily mean that you won't. I find them ok, not brilliant, but good enough out to sixty yards. Beyond that the SK's start to show their superior accuracy for me anyway. Try a box, it won't break the bank. If they don't work very well in your rifle then don't buy any more. It's the only way to find out really?? Quote Link to post

They were fine in mine, he may just have got a bad batch, their performance is much better than mentioned all round, so his barrel may not like them either!

hutchey 147 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Indeed, best way is to get some of each and try them and see how you get on (keep a record of the results / distances though so it makes it easy to see which is better performing) Good luck Quote Link to post
Rat Destroyer 12 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 thats a good point guys like you say out to 60 ish yards they probably are ok and a lot cheaper than sk's. i might get a box and try them i will let you know how they perform. do you guys get much difference from brick to brick. i am just thinking if i buy a box and they are ok what are the odds on the next brick being ok as well. cheers daz Quote Link to post
The Seeker 3,048 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I use nothing other than Eley subs, I find they more are accurate and cleaner than others I have tried Quote Link to post
sprocker dog 7 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Winchester subs for me using a Anschutz 1417, my rifle likes them and the rabbits don't. every rifle is different so just try a few of each and make your own mind up! Quote Link to post
GEOFF.223 83 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Ive bought and been given many boxes of cci seen them being shot from cz, brno, ruger, magtech and a few more and they have never been as consistant as others yes there accurate but there is more accurate rounds out there. As any ammo the cheapest one is rarely or never the most accurate something i should know I bought a brick of 500 and they went snap, crackle pop mate.

compoundarcher 35 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 depends on what your shooting at.... if its for vermin then winchester subs... but target amunition is different and not designed for vermin control it tends to pass through without expansion ...but will group better..

chris1234 0 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I use america eagle and winchester in both my .22LR and they shoot fine at 100m or so Quote Link to post
