Weather is fairly fine up here in Gladstone (e: cloudy though, I guess it's the same down there, shit for a chrono)

I have around a 1000 left.
Just coming right now so will go up for a play. Will try the V3 as well if I can work out the setting.

I'm heading up there this afternoon too

Bring your pooger and we will see if it is a rifle issue.😆

Yah it's coming. What time are you heading up?

Had a visitor drink all our coffee and now it is raining again. I now have to go out to the outlaws for tea.
Will go during the week when it clears. Good duck weather😆

I've put 1000 rounds of CCI subs through my S/S 10/22 with only having issue with a mag that won't load them every time, don't use that mag any more everything now ok

All American semiauto .22rf rifles are setup for American standard velocity ammo, velocity is around the 1100 - 1200fps of course they are not going to cycle with subs, that's why Winchester bought out the 42 grain bullet the answer is use decent ammo the cheap stuff just won't cut it.

Have put several thousand round of CCI Sub thru my Yankee 795 and I can count on 2 hands the number of times it has missed a beat. And then it has been because I haven't done my bit and kept it clean. It has the standard recoil spring - no softening mods to accommodate subs.
Win subs are just not accurate in it particular the last ones they released - thank goodness for that as they are expensive. Have had better success with Kewell Whisper which I have to cede are Winchester manufacture. The older Win subs though are brilliant in my EM. The only problem with CCI Subs and Standard is the very occasional unexplained shot that goes out of the expected group. For more serious shit I use SK. Tried some Mex Fiocchi the other day - shocking, but have heard others say they get good results.

Oh well. I put another 400 or so CCI subs through the 10/22, no issues

Ok, just "MY" opinion.
My very first ever rifle i bought was a Ruger 10/22 SS, it was only 4 years ago. At the time i bought it i got 2 packs of Remington Golden "something" bulk ammo (525X), it was high velocity rounds and work perfect in the rifle, however the suppressor didn't make any difference because the velocity. After 6 months i bought to try a "brick" of CCI subsonic, it has been my ammo since then, shoots absolute fine without any problems at all, the very few(one hand count) times it "jam" was because "cleaning", i had the odd high velocity(over charged) rounds thru many thousands i already shot, i bought a Marlin bolt action (it is for sale right now) to my "missus" and it also shoot perfect without problem, not so long ago i bought a CZ455 Varmint 22LR, BOOM! so far no problem, shot 95 points of 100.5 possible 2 weeks ago in my NZDA club shooting putting me in 1st place.
I did try 4 days ago the Winchester 42gn subsonic and it also work "perfectly" in my CZ, very accurate, same as the CCI for that rifle.
In your case i think it is just a bad batch of ammo or just the need of a double check in your action(maybe a "deep cleaning").

Just my opinion, good luck and all the best with find the problem, i hope it is just a small random problem.

That is the same issue I have just recently been getting with cci subs after firing shitloads for years with no issues.

Under charged. Drops out of the group and won't cycle the action.


My 795 even when cleaned has only started doing this with the same batch.
Never had it happen before and have fired 10s of thousands of cci subs through it.

CCI is the only ammunition that shoots and works in my marlin. Everything else I have tried was shit. They are also the only subs that clycle my 226 mosquito reliably as well.
