Deker 3,453 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Field SUBS ONLY please and not target rounds, just curious as to what peoples opinion of the worst .22lr Subs ammo is please. Just to start the ball rolling, I'd say Remington! Cheers Quote Link to post
cragman 2,635 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 I agree with Deker Quote Link to post
Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 That’s three for Remington then the last time I bought some Remington subs, half of them were HV’s in the same box. They were cheap for a reason. I was more recently offered some cyclones for the grand sum of £2:25 box/50. I declined. Quote Link to post
ianm 2,594 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 I have never tried Remingtons but for me Eley 38grn subs weren't great. They where accurate enough in my cz452 but didn't kill anywhere near aswell as the Winchesters, also really dirty. 2 Quote Link to post

I bought a thousand std velocity and they were all hypersonic. The crack tore the sky. Couldn't get better than a one foot group at 25 paces off of a rest. ...quote .... also really dirty. Dirty don't make any difference. Clean barrels never killed anything. My rifle is good with anything but RWS is very good. I've got a brick of 42 grn Winchester to try so It is one that I can't comment about yet. Quote Link to post

I only use winchester 42grn ammo now, i used Winchester 40grn before that and haven't had any issues with either. Oh! and i like clean rifles. 1 Quote Link to post
shovel leaner 7,648 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 My CZ didn’t like the Eleys , but loves Winchester 40s . The worst I’ve had were CCI . 1 Quote Link to post
Stavross 13,720 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 My little cz also didn’t like eley, they didn’t group well at all and seemed to be coated in something waxy, this was a long time ago and I’ve been told they have changed now, but once bitten twice shy Quote Link to post
Longshanx 833 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'm starting not to like CCI, 3 shots last night 3 misses, but that's probably me, or need to re zero using the CCI as last zero was with Winny Subs which I really like. Think the the CCI subs have more velocity over the Winny subs. (could be talking bollocks and just need to zero again) Quote Link to post
Meece 1,957 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I got the brick of 42gn wins from one of the son in laws. He bought them to run through his auto. but the larger bulbous nose collided with the top edge of the chamber. This caused the round to be either bent L shaped or the tip to be rammed into the case. they run ok through my bolt although I have only shot about five of them to test them for feed problems. I bought them off him to clear his ticket so he could restock with something else. I just put them into my stock. My rifle shoots best with rws subs, but will shoot nearly anything.

Brickhill 28 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Remington generally crap, but I shot a load of vermin with their low power cbee round. 1 Quote Link to post

Me too Nigel, the only Remington’s I used to bother with really. Same with cci’s, I only use their cb longs these days. I found the segmented subs terribly inaccurate. Quote Link to post
TheShootingTog 2,207 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I seem to buck the trend on here, my CZ loves Eley subs, but grouped like a shotgun with the Winchester 42grs. Quote Link to post
