CCI sub almost looks the same when retrieved from a hare. Very rarely ever get one back from a rabbit.

But they do leave big holes in rabbits. This was one of last nights efforts.

cci subs but the 45 grn stuff
cz 452 thius stuff works and groups well.
ok years back while young and silly (now old and silly) i opened up the tips on some 22 sub hollowpoint and added a drop of mercury sealed it off with candle wax. you have to use it pretty much the same day as the mercury eats lead fast. the effects on small furry bunnies is rather interesting and to say the least theres bugga all meat left as it tends to blow huge holes in poor mr bugs
You have to spike them through the head if they are a zombie. That or shoot them with a Z Max projectile.
@res can you explain? Where do you source your balls?
Funny Thread this.
Over 1000 veiws
Over 60 replys.................
Only basically two brands of ammo
CCI or Winchester............
End result , both brands work well.
Observation...... as shooters we aren't exactly spoilt for choice are we:(
good discussion,
Yep I'd go for the winchester or killwell 40 or 42. Have been happy with these.
I've tried the rems and would never go back. Absolutely rubbish consistency.
Need to source another brick soon and will go again with kilwell or Winchester.
Haven't tried the CCI.
In my 10/22 the Aquila 60gr go through paper side ways at 20mtrs, they would do a bit of damage if I could actually manage a hit with them. In my JW15 they at least travel pointing in the right direction but very poor accuracy.
My brothers 10/22 loves the Remington subs, handy as everywhere usually has them in stock :)

- 'Cause no one else wants 'em LOL
I have a couple of mates who work in different gunshops and they both choose to shoot Winchester 42's. I use them too in both my bolt action and 10/22. I think the 42's cycle better in the 10/22 than CCI 40's. But then I could be full of it.
I believe Remington subs made under contract by CCI.
My .22 being an AR upper is quite fussy. Really only likes the CCI 'Suppressor' stuff designed for semis.
Of course it's one of the more expensive .22 ammo out there. Shoots okay with CCI Minimags within 50m, but out to 100m they are transonic and groups spread.
Need to try some Federal stuff, as it hates Winchester.
I picked up Eley HP Subs and love them, More accurate and way quieter than anything else I tried in my CZ452, even quieter than the CCI Suppressor rounds which were $29 for 50!
I use Winchester 40gr with my 10/22 and accuracy and cycling very good. I hear the. 42gr is the way to go but I bought an outer so still chewing through the 40's. A mate does professional pest control with a 10/22 and he literally "swears" by Winchester.
They hit well. I like them too but the neck and action must be kept clean or they are poor recyclers.
Last time i had that stuff out in the field the majority of the rounds were just bouncing off Possoms and they were just staring at me. At first i thought i was missing and the rifle was out. However i thought to bring along some CCI subs just in case. Starting using them and the coons were doing back flips out the trees with only one round.
Will never use Remmington .22 subs again, stuffs useless!!! Still have that same box sitting at home.

More expensive than CCI standard but performs better and cheaper than CCI Suppressor.
At that price they are worth a try. A little slower than the CCI subs, so hopefully that will keep the number that go supersonic to a minimum.
spent 10 years in OZ so cant comment from recent experience but tried various subsonics-Eley, PMC. Not really a lot around and cost was a factor so stayed away from CCI ammo. Always found the Winchester and also kilwell hushpower (I think they were Winchester anyway) worked better than anything else
my norinco bolt actions have all hated winchester power point supersonic in that they are a turd to feed...both the 40 and 42grn subsonic feed well and shoot very well in them. strangly enough using the subsonics in long barreled norinco they not much noiser than with suppressor,well quiet enough to not bother anyone anyhow.
Holy thread resurrection Batman!
