Thread: Sellier and Bellot .22 sub sonic report

first off I need to apolagise to you rimfire guys who were complaining about the new yankee winchester stuff...I had written off complaints as whinging...
I finnally have got my shit together and started using .22lr again...the 22-250 is lots of fun but at 50 yards,the wee pea shooter makes more sense.

anyway,Ive heard to odd crack with subsonic but its the nose cone that really has me stumped..a GIANT leap backwards.the new powerpoint is the same as old superspeed...1mm hollow point that almost looks like its had slight flattening..so I took page from book of the school of the 80s found a 4'' nail and quick twirl in nose cavity takes it from tiny 1mm out to about 4mm without deforming shape...three twirls with slight amount of pressure pushing nail in and results look very consistant.
look forward to trying the new improved rounds and seeing how they preform. used the high velocity tonight and shot hare and a rabbit,cant say was impressed with how it killed...the strange thing is when opening tips the lead "feels" harder than it should...will see if projectiles stayed inside when skin tomorrow.
