Thread: Subsonic 22LR round for hunting?

Found the chrony when looking for the eley ammo which was a bonus.
The rifle has a few hundred more rounds through it, and the groups are coming in a bit from the last time I tried all of the different ammo.
I ran out of the remington ammo, so was looking for the best of what I had stockpiled.
Tested Winchester 40gr Subsonic, CCI 40gr subsonic, and the eley match 40gn at 25m, and chronographed each of the 5 round groups.

CCI. 5 shot group: 0.213"
velocity: 1075, 1086, 1067, 1061, 1083

Winchester 5 shot group: 0.441"
velocity: 1024, 1004, 1011, 1015, 1014

Eley match 5 shot group: 0.160"
velocity: 1110(supersonic), 1083, 1057, 1075, 1070

Winner for the hunting ammo was the CCI, and was really quite impressive. Looks like I will be sticking with that for a while.

Measurements in the images are measured across the outside of the grouping, rather than centre-to-centre.
