In my 10/22 the Aquila 60gr go through paper side ways at 20mtrs, they would do a bit of damage if I could actually manage a hit with them. In my JW15 they at least travel pointing in the right direction but very poor accuracy.

My brothers 10/22 loves the Remington subs, handy as everywhere usually has them in stock

Mine are in the wifes handbag

I have a couple of mates who work in different gunshops and they both choose to shoot Winchester 42's. I use them too in both my bolt action and 10/22. I think the 42's cycle better in the 10/22 than CCI 40's. But then I could be full of it.

My Jw15 actually grouped the 60gr ones pretty well, to expensive to really consider for more than novelty factor though

I believe Remington subs made under contract by CCI.

My .22 being an AR upper is quite fussy. Really only likes the CCI 'Suppressor' stuff designed for semis.
Of course it's one of the more expensive .22 ammo out there. Shoots okay with CCI Minimags within 50m, but out to 100m they are transonic and groups spread.
Need to try some Federal stuff, as it hates Winchester.

I picked up Eley HP Subs and love them, More accurate and way quieter than anything else I tried in my CZ452, even quieter than the CCI Suppressor rounds which were $29 for 50!

I use Winchester 40gr with my 10/22 and accuracy and cycling very good. I hear the. 42gr is the way to go but I bought an outer so still chewing through the 40's. A mate does professional pest control with a 10/22 and he literally "swears" by Winchester.

They hit well. I like them too but the neck and action must be kept clean or they are poor recyclers.

Last time i had that stuff out in the field the majority of the rounds were just bouncing off Possoms and they were just staring at me. At first i thought i was missing and the rifle was out. However i thought to bring along some CCI subs just in case. Starting using them and the coons were doing back flips out the trees with only one round.

Will never use Remmington .22 subs again, stuffs useless!!! Still have that same box sitting at home.

More expensive than CCI standard but performs better and cheaper than CCI Suppressor.

At that price they are worth a try. A little slower than the CCI subs, so hopefully that will keep the number that go supersonic to a minimum.

The dirtiest filthiest ammo known to man.
