    CCI ammo

    Just wondering if anybody has had problems sourcing CCI rimfire ammo , specifically the 40grain subsonics . None at guncity in Christchurch last time I was there and my local Hunting and Fishing shops in Timaru and Oamaru have none either , even though it is listed in the lastest hunting and fishing spring catalogue. Heaps of Winchester but find it very inconsistant since coming out of the USA.

    @Howa1500 Fiocchi subs are Eley? something from the memory banks suggested they were made by someone else, maybe CCI?
    Interesting to know as I got a packet of Eley subs to try in the BSA

    the fiocchi whitebox subs that GC sell have made in Birmingham by eley on the back of the box, their blue box subs may be made by cci not to sure

    Check Gun City again. I was in the Richmond branch today and they just had an order of subs come in.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    I've been using Aguila subs in my Toz rabbit rifle...consistent, more accurate than I am and they nail them to the floor...
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    Due to the exorbitant cost of reloading components, warning shots will not be given.

    All I could get last time were Winchester subs for my .22LR not overly impressed with them sound almost as loud as standard CCI and not at all quiet as subs should be.

    Eley subs won't cycle in my Marlin semi, every other brand that I have tried did. Accurate though.
