While waiting for the barrel to cool on another rifle I had a play with this stuff over the labradar.
I was impressed with how consistent it was in both my marlin 60 and Ruger pistol.
Shoots great in both as well.

I heard from one of the dudes at the importers that the US Olympic shooting team use it as their practise ammo it shoots almost as well
as the expensive match ammo in my rifle and pistol as well can't fault it.
It shoots good in my rifle.Quote:

My Cz 452 loves it, like 1 ragged hole 10 shot groups at 50m loves it!
Shot a few 100 point F class targets in the Deerstalkers rimfire shoots.
Pity it doesn’t kill magpies so well.

Great stuff and it's priced reasonably.
I use it and it kills as good as anything else with the usual shot placement
I bought 2000 winchester m22 and have been impressed with its accuracy and consistency not to mention price. Like northdude said a rn solid kills as well as a hp. This is my go to for flappers in the dams at the moment.
Shoots well in my .22LR AR15 as well. Good enough for 100m service rifle shoots against centrefires.
As long as the wind plays fair!

Hmmm, wonder why soft point and hp ammo is made then?
Had heaps of magpies with central chest hits fly off and fold over the paddock.
With CCI hp Subs they go down on the spot.
Great for targets though.

I haven't shot anything other than paper with mine. Always use subs for rabbits and such.Quote:

It will kill if you hit stuff in the right place its a lesson you learn if youve started your hunting path with air rifles
No doubt, but not as efficiently.Quote:

Therefore do not kill as well.
I found with them it’s even difficult to hear the hit as they are just zipping through, a few times I have though “how did I miss that?” only to have it fold mid air or a bunny die mid stride.
Whereas with the HP you can definitely hear the thwack of the bullet hitting flesh.
I am not saying they don’t kill if placed correctly, but not as efficiently as the hp.
I am pretty sure that a well placed shot from one would kill a deer too, doesn’t mean it’s as efficient at killing it as something better suited to the task.
Thanks for the lesson though, never shot anything with an air rifle[emoji6]

I rember the winnie aust dynapoint ammo, tiny little indentation in the nose of what looked like a solid, they seemed to do the business. You could make a die to do the same thing i suppose.
There is some kind of gadget out there for doing it
Theres dies u can get frm usa for putting hp into solid 22lr ammo also resizing the bullets some etc
I used to shoot almost exclusively CCI SV for target shooting. I have gone through about 4 or 5 cases. My first case of CCI SV was about $380, my last case was I think $450 a couple of years ago. For its price, there was no competition. In my view its performance is on par with likes of Winchester T22 and RWS R 50 This much is for sure. It is, however, a cheaper end target ammo in the end of the day. so do not expect it can match all other more expensive ammos. This year when I asked around, the case price now is over $600. The price increase over the last 2 years actually put it in competition against ammos that used to occupy a different market. My 22lr ammo purchase this year was SK Magazine instead (same as SK standard Plus but packaged in 500-round cans).
In my KIDD 10/22, when I was shooting CCI SV I used to have to clean the barrel after about 150 to 200 rounds or else it will have failure to fire. The cause is that CCI SV leaves a lot of residue inside the chamber that after enough buildup it would create enough resistance so that the bolt cannot push the round all the way in, as a result when firing pin hits the rim, it simply pushes the round further a little and does not fire. After I switched to SK, it took over 1000 round for the same issue to develop after the last barrel cleaning. The SK is definitely more accurate and has less flyers than CCI SV as well.
This link .22LR Rimfire Ammo Comparison Test within AccurateShooter.com is consistent with my view/experience with CCI SV.
CCI SV is definitely not a good hunting round. CCI HP sub is far better for a little more money. I think they have the same design and powder, it is simply that the hollow point causing far better killing wound.
There is a tool that lets you turn CCI SV into CCI HP sub, but it does not seem cost effective. The usual price difference between the two ammo is about 20-30 dollars for 500 rounds. I think to unpack 500 rounds, push a hole in each one, package them all back, wash your hands and tidy up the workstation, etc, will take at least one hour, more realistically 2 hours. That is 2 hours of time spent for 20-30 dollars of saving... Unless you are a uni student it simply does not compute.
When I was shooting indoor 25 mtr probably 90% of the shooters used some flavor of Eley 22RF.
I see that now Eley are producing a special 22RF standard and sub sonic ammunition for Semi Autos.
42 gr at 1250 or 42 gr at 1090 fps.
ShootingStuff are currently specialing of the end of season semi auto 22Rf stock for $87.50 per 500. ($8.75 a box 50)
The other round nose is $6 or $7 a box.
The Eley subsonic we get over here,is the quietest subsonic I have used.
RWS was supposed to be quieter but dosnt seem like it.
My tikka t1x loves the cci standard

It took a bit of effort to get my hands on Eley subsonics. I was expecting great things, but they grouped a little bit worse than CCI subsonics (HP). CCI Standard Velocity was probably the best of the lot by a small margin, but I prefer HP for pest control, so have stuck with those for everything. I have a CZ452 with 15inch barrel.
"in my view its performance is on par with likes of Winchester T22 and RWS R 50"
This was a mistake, I should have said in my view its performance is on par with likes of Winchester T22 and RWS Target Rifle,.
R 50 is the high end stuff. Target Rifle is about 10 dollars or so per 50 which ismore comparable to CCI SV.
norsk, the standard eley hollow nose subs are a 38 gr doing about 1050 fps vs their standard 40gr round nose at 1090 fps. They where designed to be extra quiet.
the 42gr HP subs are designed to cycle a semi auto so use a different powder to give a similar recoil impulse to the semi auto action as a 1250 fps standard 22rf 40 gr high velocity.
