.22 RF subsonic ammo recommendations pls

[J@son]

A while ago, I bought a brick of Winchester .22 rimfire rounds and have really struggled with consistency - with roughly one in five shots going wide of the mark.

Does anyone have any ammo recommendations? I am looking for a subsonic round for shooting rabbits. I’ve used RWS (40 gr I think) in the past and got on well enough with these but would be interested to learn what rounds other people recommend.

I’m shooting with a CZ Varmint (heavy barrel) which is about 15 years old and which I’ve had from new. It’s always been accurate so I don’t think the gun is the issue. And I am pretty sure it isn’t me!

CCI segmented.

Just try a few different types see which groups best

 

[Bledd]

Eley subs (my Annie prints clovers) or RWS subs (10/22 won't cycle anything else whilst maintaining accuracy). Never had good experience with Winchester

I’ve just changed after 30 years of Winchester sub’s new ones are very inconsistent feeding in my sako
Tried CCI and eley both group well eley has a distinct smell But cci are louder than Winchester and Eley

So I have gone for Eley subs also as an advantage the eley’s are in a box similar to the old Winchester box

Lapua for me

Any of the target rounds, far more consistent than the hunting fodder in most cases.

I know it's not cheap but I really like the RWS stuff...

Since Eley subs went tits up that I used to swear by ive gone through the process of testing.
CCi subs are the most accurate in my CZ but they are very loud, I use the 22lr where noise is an issue and have settled on RWS subs, accurate and quiet.

+1 for RWS

Rws subs. Eley subs have gone down not what they were

Had a couple of bouncers off of eley subs and the film can clog up my blaser rimmy, I've been using CCI segmented for some considerable time now with no problems and pretty accurate, also using norma non toxic in one 22 rimmy to good effect but they are a wee bit faster but with a good grouping which is pleasing for non toxic norma do 2 non toxic rounds, one is a complete no no, shoots like a scatter gun in my two rimmies. Pic attached for 50 yd zero, you can see the difference between the two norma rounds the one on the right after a toot up on the scope shoots pretty good

SK. Even the standard plus are very good in my CZ and my SIG semi.
Not too many places stock them, but they seem to be catching on.

 

[UpNorthMI]

RWS or Eley subs work best for me.

 

[Shootgun]

RWS for me

 

[Neil/carprover]

Iv had no problems with cci in my cz, wildcat mod on it and it makes no more noise than my fac air rifle

 

[nic531]

SK rifle match... come out as just under

 

[hendrix's rifle]

CCI for me, the standard's. Tried eley, rws and a couple of others and didn't find they were very consistent. This is just using 1 rifle though
