Thread: Best Subsonic 22LR Hunting Ammo ?

Haven't done much at all with the 22LR for years.

What are Guys using subsonic hunting ammo ?

I have my Lithgow which shoots really well with the SK ammo I have, but it sucks for hunting.

Haven't used my 10-22 in years, still have some Winchester Subs for it.

My 10/22 prefers cci subs, as does the cz455. Though the 10/22 will need another test after losing half the barrel

CCI sub sonic is my favorite, very consistent and ood on game performance.

Using Winchester subs at the moment and they work fine also.

CCI subs, consistent accuracy

Cci subs are my go to as well, I put little plastic balls in the hollow point form time to time and it really helps the expansion

Have heard of this and wondered if it was worth the effort

I mainly do it when I'm using a bolt gun and trying to extend the range with subs as when the speed gets real low I find that don't open up otherwise, probably do about 5% of my cci subs as I'm to lazy to do it for all-may have to teach the kids to do it in a couple of years

Mine are in the wifes handbag

I find the winchester expand better than the cci (both 40 and 42 gr aussie)
