    Try shooting them sideways across the head. Between the eyes is far less effective. Wait till they turn

    win 42 subs shoot well in my JW15. The 42 power points are one dot up on my mil-dot reticle for a 75m zero.
    My jw15 didn't like CCIs.

    I like the Winchester subs for both accuracy and performance on rabbits, but hares are a different matter! I found that the Winchester subs would expand too quickly and cause painful and slow-killing (or even non-fatal) wounds on the heavier-bodied hares. The answer is subsonic solids (ie. target ammo) which shoot to the same point of aim and penetrate much better, giving clean kills.

    I think it's the age old answer of matching rifle to ammo. However I have found that CCI seems to run better through the rifles I have owned over the years. I have a French Unique semi auto, very reliable with the ability to cycle over 600 rds of subsonic before powder fouling produces the odd jam ( maybe two in a hundred ).
    I shot 25 rabbits this weekend and as long as I did my part the CCIs put them all down with only 3-4 runners that went 30 mtrs and then folded.
    Nothing wrong with sub sonic in both accuracy and killing performance on small game.
    As for the 17hmr I have mixed thoughts, stunning little killer but I have found it fickle at times , shot rabbits to 200yrds in right conditions but past 130 yrds I could hit them ok but a lot got back up and staggered off or got down holes.
    They have stopped doing that now I have gone to 223, in fact quite often two halves go in different directions
    quentin, WallyR and FatLabrador like this.
