Thread: Winchester (USA) 22 40 gr subsonic vs Winchester (Aus ) 40gr Subsonic

We got 20000 rounds of the American made stuff. Down to my last box and boy am I glad to see the end of it. The amount that would go supersonic was just ridiculous. In some bricks the projectiles were just caked with wax, whole hollow point completely full.
Only got 1000 rounds of the old Aussie stuff left which is a shame. They certainly seemed to hit the hardest out of the 40gr subs and shot well.
Have to find another brand but she's slim pickings nowadays.

I think the projectile is slightly different to the Aussie made bullet, the Aussie one has a huge hollow point compared to the US one the reason no doubt why they hit hard and kill well. My limited use of the US ones seems to show that they still do the job on the rabbits but give me the Aussie ones any day of the week.
