riflehunter583 58 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 recent batch seems to be going a little faster. anyone noticed their subs going a smiggin faster? eleys have always started to crack a little in winter due to freezing tempuratues and my 18.5inch 22 barrel. but they never cracked in summer before now. anyone else noticed the same?

goldfinger 135 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I noticed the odd crack when using remington's my cz didn't like them also the grouping wasn't consistent so i stopped using them,i now use only winchesters.With what you describe i would imagine the grouping is very inconsistent.

David Aiken 253 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Cant say I've noticed. Just used 400 but, theses could have all been the same (good?) batch. Quote Link to post
ludders76 6 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yes absolutely I thought my mod was knackered. These are a new batch the older ones are quieter! I haven't got a chrono but it would be very interesting. Quote Link to post
riflehunter583 58 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm guessing people were not getting their 1050 out of 14 inch barrels so eley added 'another flake of powder' per head Quote Link to post
ludders76 6 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Any losses of accuracy?? I went out today and had a bad day. Two inch groups at 60 yards, previously I have been shooting 1" groups at 90??! Quote Link to post
riflehunter583 58 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I did have a bad spell last year with a dodgy batch. accuracy seems ok at the moment. consistency is ok also. I,m considering getting one of those seating dies which is suppose to make each bullet more uniform and also tighter groups. ever tried one? 1 inch groups at 90 is good. Quote Link to post
ludders76 6 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 No I have not tried it. I'm relatively new to hunting. Have done a lot of shooting in 9mm and 5.56mm. 22lr is more fun in some ways trying to push the limits of my skill. I'm gonna deep clean my rifle, and check scope and mounts. Hopefully grouping will come back. Its easier when its a human error rather than the rifle. Quote Link to post
riflehunter583 58 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 totally agree. I use 5.56 brass and reload .223 with it. but nothing beats .22lr its good old cheap fun and much more of a challenge than centre fire. Quote Link to post
goldfinger 135 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Just check that your barrel is not touching your forstock it should be free floating,run some paper down and check,I had a cz that was touching and grouping was very bad. Quote Link to post
savaloy 1 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I second the wood touching the barrel. I had 3 runners last time out rabbiting, since checking it with the paper round the barrel it wont fit down the gap so its barrel off & files out for me. mine is also a brno, the varmint model with the heavy barrel & it usually shoots ragged 1 hole groups at around 40 yds. I have had this before on another cz, my 17 hmr American did the same thing on me a few years ago. Quote Link to post
ludders76 6 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Gents after the longest school holiday in history.... or so it seems. I have cleaned changed scope changed moderator and then checked again. All is good, accuracy bang on. Thanks for the advice gents I must admit I didnt float the barrel it never was free floating.

ludders76 6 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Oh and my batch of eley subs arent definitely cracking a bit. Quote Link to post
