    CCI Subs and Eley match work really well through my CZ455. The rabbits, hares, and magpies really cannot tell the difference in price between the two makes.
    Bullet expansion is pretty much zero with both of these rounds, but an accurately placed bullet with no expansion seems to do better, than a less accurate round that mushrooms out. Any head or chest shot has proven to do the job regardless of what make of 22lr ammo used.
    The worst ammo I have ever used was the Remington bulk stuff. Split cases, inconsistent velocities. It shot groups more reminiscent of a shotgun blast than a rifle.
    I ran a few makes over the chrony, and did 5 round groups to see what would work in my rifle. http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...tml#post433416
