So results
Shot at 50m did not fire any exclamation shots before shooting for accuracy (like you should)
Just fired 10 of each ammo one after the other
Winchester 40gn USA was a clear loser with like a 2 inch group at 50
Most of the others shot 3/4 inch at 50 which is perfectly Acceptable for a shorty hunting rifle
Stand out was the Aguila 38gn which shot 1/2 inch or better At 50
And Was hitting my 2 inch steel targets at 100 with good consistently once I worked out the drops Which was about 3 inches from a 50m zero
I hear the batch to batch consistently is shit
So ill shoot out and grab a brick (of the same batch number ) I hope
500 rounds is A couple of years shooting for this rifle
Its a spotlighting for possums and rabbits rifle
Not a range rifle

I've been using CCI Quiets the last few months on a Chiappa Little Badger (710fps 40 grain).
I'm finding they're accuracy good to 25m, and 50m they start to drift a little. But they are very very quiet. I've been shooting hares and they are quite devastating on them.

Earlier in the week two forum members and I shot some 22 ammo over the chrony. Surprise surprise Subs weren't sub !! The EM 332 shot everything 100fps faster than the other rifles Win 40 gr subs 1100 to 1190 fps. The HV was only 100 fps or less faster in the EM.
In other rifles all subs - CCI, Win Sportco shot 1050 - 1100 fps.

Seen that with a brand new much more expensive sporting rifle than that I’ll keep the brand quiet as they normally make a bloody good rifle and would hate to put anyone off But it was a sporting (hunting) rifle which was to be used for a professional pest control shooter
Everything he put through it was supersonic and most were that tight to chamber you had to force the bolt home useing an unhealthy amount of force
he ended up having to return the rifle as it was no use to him without the Ability to suppress Efficiently And the force need to shut the bolt was not conducive to speed

Many american gunsmiths who do suppressor work "port" 22 barrels to ensure subsonic velocities with all (including HV) ammo
-
Shame to port an EM. It is nothing like a JW15 in build. Better than everything I have seen except a Match 54
-
Worst case would be to get a gunsmith to run a reamer into it and lengthen the leads maybe
-
My 10/22 has a ported barrel and over barrel suppressor: shoots anything quietly, but is most accurate with CCI subs...but all rifles are different; each one will usually have one brand that produces the best accuracy. Experiment.

Put a box of that Aguila through my kidd 10/22 clone today
Normally I would run this rifle purely on club target or match grade ammos
But since I brought a brick of the Aguila for the shorty I thought I may aswell well try it for shits And giggles
This was a 10 shot group after shooting half a box to foul the barrel with the new ammo Unsure of exact distance just shooting in a paddock but definitely 35-50m black dot is half inch and coin is $2

This rifle will do slightly better again with match ammo but im very happy for a $7 a box hunter subsonic
