Thread: CCI ammo

Just wondering if anybody has had problems sourcing CCI rimfire ammo , specifically the 40grain subsonics . None at guncity in Christchurch last time I was there and my local Hunting and Fishing shops in Timaru and Oamaru have none either , even though it is listed in the lastest hunting and fishing spring catalogue. Heaps of Winchester but find it very inconsistant since coming out of the USA.

Yep, been hard to get. A small batch came in a few months ago but has been selling fast

probably look at fiochhi (eley) subies or even aguila from GC, shouldnt be an issue sourcing that

@Howa1500 Fiocchi subs are Eley? something from the memory banks suggested they were made by someone else, maybe CCI?
Interesting to know as I got a packet of Eley subs to try in the BSA

The brick of Fiocchi "white box" subs I have ate of Eley manufacture- they work but are nothing to write home about.

the fiocchi whitebox subs that GC sell have made in Birmingham by eley on the back of the box, their blue box subs may be made by cci not to sure

Did you try Oamaru Sports and Outdoors ? They had some a couple of weeks ago when I was in there and bought some myself

I’ve got a brick of subs, solids, CCI I don’t need

Check Gun City again. I was in the Richmond branch today and they just had an order of subs come in.

Some came in a week ago, we had 20,000 delivered

Thanks Barrel , just been in and stocked up .

I've been using Aguila subs in my Toz rabbit rifle...consistent, more accurate than I am and they nail them to the floor...

yep but pretty filthy in a semi being dupont powder

All I could get last time were Winchester subs for my .22LR not overly impressed with them sound almost as loud as standard CCI and not at all quiet as subs should be.

Eley subs won't cycle in my Marlin semi, every other brand that I have tried did. Accurate though.
