I was gifted 600 of these and just returned from zeroing. Very nice round, and quiet as well. Good grouping at 50 yds ? prior to these I’m using Remington

I'm not surprised if you were using the Remington .22 HP Subs before, probably the most inconsistent and worst ammo made!

Found myself with an afternoon free, so, decided that I needed to get some rounds though my cz .22lr at 50yards, take my time to go back over brands I’d pied off. This will be photo heavy, so apologis

I actually rate the Magtech HP subs, but not easy to find these days and not cheap anymore either.  Accurate and big HP which expands well. Not used the heavier Winchesters but the old ones had a

Now I’m lost, the last 100 rounds of the SK have been a bit random, a few flyers. Missed a squirrel last night, twice ? from the same place as always so I have the range nailed. Thought it may be my scope was I need of a zero, I have a target that’s permanently up, had a couple of shots snd from my aim point one was an inch high and left the second was an inch low and right. This has no put me off the sk’s, I need to be able just to pick up my rifle and and have confidence in it. So my question is, do I give the barrel a clean with a pull through or look at changing amo? I’ve put  roughly 1000 rounds through it. 

Cheers

Welcome to the world of rimfire!

Massed produced ammunition that uses heeled bullets will always have these issues, it's why it was kind of dropped in the larger Cal's of yesteryear.

Crimping uniformity can be compromised with heeled bullets over bullet in case designs.

Then there is the possibilities of irregular priming!
