Hyper velocity LR & subsonic magnums?


Recommended Posts


Other than a one rifle guy I'm struggling to justify the sub sonic magnum and usually hyper 22 suffers with accuracy  but I guess these may stay super to 100yds but then again.....I dunno.

Is it just the drive to get away from lead. Is 22 capable without lead? Its confusing me....

I'll  agree with that.   I've never seen any brand of high velocity that is consistently accurate.  There ain't much point in having an elephant rifle but you can't hit the elephant.  A 22lr is very effective and quiet when subsonic in conjunction with a silencer.  If more power is required then a hornet or 22 cf.  Do you have to remortgage for a box of leadless cartridges.?

Ps.  Blokes quite often turn up on shoots with lead less cartridges but I've never had the nerve to ask how much these leadless cartridges are to buy. I think that they are going to be the future. Ethically speaking. ?

I never implied they are useless Meece though! 

I have shot many hv 22 that are plenty accurate for vermin shooting.

I should of been clearer , the hypers dont seem to offer anything more than a good hv.

They seem less stable at extended range. Probably  the trans sonic stage over a standard weight bullet coming down from super sonic.
