Thread: Subsonic 22 ammo suggestions .

In case anyone needed convincing that the USA winchester was crap: a mate came round yesterday to sight in his recently purchased second hand 10/22. He brought a couple of packets of usa win 40gr subs. The groups weren't terrible but it wasnt cycling well with one or two jams per mag. The wax was odd and very gummy which I reckon most of the problem. The action needed a bit of a clean but still... I grabbed some of my cci subs and it ran beautifully and groups tightened up a lot.

Mate stopped at gun city on the way home and totally sold out of cci.

Same here. CCI Standard speed any day.

Visit both GC in Auckland today for some CCI sub and both had none
I ended up picking these up from their competitor

I was told Norma is as good as CCI
time will tell.

A few months ago I bought a new Ruger bolt action. Tried out every type of ammo I had and bought others, all subs . US Winchester were the worst for accuracy and going supersonic at times. The best for me was fiocchi followed by selliers and bellott. Don't know if I spelt that right. My mate sold his rifles and had 6 boxes of Aussie made Winchester which shot as good as the fiocchi. Cci shot 3rd best. Had some PMC zapper (supersonic)which shot exceptionally well but can't get them now. Not sure on killing ability yet.
