richie 1 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 ive always used eley subs in my cz as i have found these to be the most reliable & accurate, but i went to my local dealer to pick-up some more & he had sold out.. so instead i got a few hundred CCI subsonics to try out... i was quite happy with the accuracy & the consistantcy, but i must admit, i found that they didnt feed well as the first round in the mag didnt want to go in the pipe. does anyone else use CCI ? pro`s & cons please... i took a short clip of the test, the first shot was a bit high though as i snagged the first shot... other than that, the other 9 were bang-on target.. this test was taken at 65yards..

SportingShooter 0 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Lazy Git, Driving all of the 65 yards They seem to be shooting well for you. Many don't go near them and Many have trouble feeding them into the chamber and feeding from the magazines. Regards SS Quote Link to post

Regards SS i dont walk anywhere now.. yeah, thats the only thing i found bad with them, the feeding of the first round in the magazine.... maybe its because of the roughness of the bullet which stops it sliding into position... actually, it just goes to show how hard a bunny gets whacked at that distance ! rich Quote Link to post
Guest JohnGalway Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I was just thinking that, never seen one of those spinners in action but it goes to show how hard the target gets hit. I stay away from CCI due to the force that needs to be exerted to chamber them in my Quad - not good. They're not accurate in it anyway. Quote Link to post

HI john what did you put the none chambering down to ? i was looking closely when i was pushing the bolt forward & all i could see was the bullet head not sliding freely.. strange. ive still got 100 left, ill try them down the club in the morning.. i picked the spinner up from the gun shop for £25, before this i was using a piece of 6mm steel x 18" x 18" & resting it against a tree... the only bad design with this spinner target is that the idea is to shoot all four spinning targets & they rest on a bar, to release them you have to hit another target on top to drop them, but the top target falls back when you shoot it & allows the bullet to travel up & away, very dangerous !!! thats why i removed it & just keep to shooting the lower targets as when the bullet hits them it flattens & goes straight into the ground below... well worth getting... managed to freeze frame number 4 getting hit.. number 4 target just before impact... on impact...

cbw 4 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hi Richie, I like the idea of driving to and from the targets! The swingers really get hit hard, I am thinking of getting a set, how well are they lasting? It looks as though a few more rounds and they will be knackered. CBW Quote Link to post

CBW ive only had it a while..... their made from 5mm steel & most of the energy is lost by them not been rigid.. the paint chippings are only surface damage, i reckon theyll have plenty of life in them... probably sounds obvious, but make sure you get the ones made for .22lr... a while back i destroyed a cheap version made for air rifles " dont ask " Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 CCI subs tend to give me decent results in my CZ Silhouette but they are very hard to chamber. Eley give me best results BUT I use Magtech subs at the moment (very good and cheaper than Eley) and Remington Yellow Jackets HP for High Velocity! Quote Link to post

cbw 4 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I have to say after problems with remms in the early days after suggestions on here I switched to Eleys and I have not had a single missfire (2000 rounds) or jam and find them accurate. CBW Quote Link to post

No arguement that Eley are better and I have heard comments like this about Magtech before. Don't know if you used old stuff or what, but my "shooting" lad can half inch group these at 50 yards outside, and the first and only time my non shooting lad tried my .22LR he managed a 1.5 inch group at 60 yards with the Magtech! (off the bipod, CZ Silhouette, full length barrel with SAK on the end). And thinking about it I was out Tuesday night zeroing my HMR and my shooting lads girlfriend and another shooting pal had a try with my .22LR at 40yards, and both grouped much better than your 1.5 inch at 25 yards with Magtech! I use the 40g HP Subs. If I could only get 1.5 inch groups at 25 yards I wouldn't consider using them but my results are only a bit behind Eley! Does seem strange as I have heard from several people they are not happy with Magtech groups but they work well for me! Edited August 22, 2008 by Deker Quote Link to post
Guest JohnGalway Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 what did you put the none chambering down to ? i was looking closely when i was pushing the bolt forward & all i could see was the bullet head not sliding freely.. strange. ive still got 100 left, ill try them down the club in the morning.. It was either a thicker rim than other cases or longer over all length of the round, I can't remember which as it was last year I was messing about with different ammo types, I just stick with Eleys now How did you get on at the club?

bumble 2 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I find cci cycle my rem 597 semi pretty well, and are acurate. I use rws and aguila in my sako. They were a good choice in my cz when i had it too. Quote Link to post
