Carlowhunter 27 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hi folks . Just traded in my Marlin 925 for a new CZ 455 Thumbhole stock .22 LR . What ammo do you find best for yours ? Getting mixed results with Winchester subs that really suited my Marlin . Thanks in advance ! Quote Link to post
stoggy 598 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Winchester and Eley subs in mine.The Winchester i find are harder hitting but the Eleys are just a fraction more accurate but hardly anything in it. 2 Quote Link to post
PLEDGEY 493 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Tried some Eleys once but them smelt funny and felt waxy, so now I stick with Winny 40g subs. 1 Quote Link to post
Tyla 3,179 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I love the smell of eley subs! They shoot well in my cz too Quote Link to post
The one 8,393 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Winchester all the way for me , wasnt there a post a bit ago and Walshie said the eley subs where too waxy whatever they covered them in Quote Link to post
David.evans 5,323 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm with the one , on this one ! Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Switched from Eley to CCI subs and haven't had a jam since. Quote Link to post
Jax13 251 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 It's a pain in the arse but if you try even just give them all a quick rub with a microfiber cloth first to get the wax off them. One rifle I had loved rws subs. They seem to have a more slippery liquid feeling type of case lube on them rather than a wax based one. Quote Link to post

One rifle I had loved rws subs. They seem to have a more slippery liquid feeling type of case lube on them rather than a wax based one. Found Lapua very slippery but accurate, unfortunately RFD stopped stocking. Found Eley subs also very accurate. Must try "sniffing" them as it seems popular Quote Link to post
Deker 3,450 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 As you may have noticed above there is some variety. Try as many as you can to find what works best for you, your distances and your quarry. My CZ loves/d the Magtech subs, accurate, huge HP and excellent terminal performance, they used to be really cheap, now they seem to be really expensive so I use others. In a new rifle, even a .22lr, it will be worth trying again after a 1000 shots (or more or less) as you will find things sometimes change! Quote Link to post
