Scrumbag Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 HI folks, What do people reckon is the most consistent copper "washed" / plated bullet which is quick in a .22lr? Velocitor seems good, anyone else get any opinions about what is worth using both target and small game. Scrummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrumbag Posted December 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Andy! Good to hear from you, brother! Thanks for the tip, I shall try them out. As I said, CCI velocitor aren't bad, just not great. Shall try the minimags and see what happens Scrummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Thanks, Amigo. Likewise. This was 5 shots from my old Brno #2 at 100 yards with a 2.5X Leupold scope using the Mini Mag. ~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumbag Posted December 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 That's good shooting Andy, especially with quite low mag! Scrummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Big, bright target! I have a vintage Leupold Rimfire Gold Ring on the Brno. Very fine reticle. I think I bought the scope 2nd hand in 1982. CCI Mini Mag 40 grain solid tip is my go-to now that Aguila has dropped Eley Priming. Their 40 grain "Super Extra" was some of the most consistent and accurate HV ammo I have shot. I shot cases of it and got that kind of accuracy. If I got a new .22 and it didn't shoot that Aguila well, I figured there was something amiss with the gun. (The 'Aguila Prime' ammo they sell now is so-so.)Now I use CCI Mini Mag. CCI Blazer 40 grain has been a fairly consistent performer as well. If you lived next door I'd toss you a box of the custom .22LR I had made to my spec by Aguila years back: Their 38 grain HP subsonic bullet at 1300 fps. SD of 4, match accuracy. Kills vermin like the Hand of God. After 16 years I have just 12 boxes left. I don't know what I'm saving it for!~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Enjoy. I ordered a KRG "Bravo" stock last night for the Tikka T1X that I bought for match shooting.(Merry Christmas to Me) I chose SAKO-green, of course....~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumbag Posted February 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi Folks, Resurrecting an old thread here so please bear with me. Anyone had a go with any of the RWS high velocity offerings? I'm guessing my usual CCI might be somewhat unavailable in the next few months...

bowji john Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I can't offer any useful comment at the moment However I've ordered RWS R50, rifle match and club I'm going to do cold bore and temperature related MV's, (their average and SD,s) together with vertical stringing @ 100m in order to build up dope for the kesler 570 Rifles they will be tested out of are as follow Cz 452 20" barrel R8 also 20" I believe Vudoo 20" Kukri barrel Will post on here if people are interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumbag Posted February 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Be very interested, John. I find the RWS Target Rifle and Sub Sonic Hollow Point shoot to a very similar POA/POI at 50 yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrummy Very much! I love it. The rifle was extremely accurate before I put it in the KRG, and remains so , but the ability to shoot a long course of fire at long distance has been improved. (We shoot out to 300M) Very comfortable for prone or even off a bench. In short: it make me shoot better. Thanks on the Constitutional Carry kudos. It takes effect June 1. There is another bill before the House that would allow the State to ignore Federal mandates for gun control shpould ehty choose. That hit a procedural hiccup but I believe the Govenor will pass it eventually.~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrummy I find velocitor extremely accurate - as good as sk plus; and unlike most of the other HV options, it’s still got high-ish bullet mass; so a serious step up in energy to most other offerings - the increased ‘kick’ is tangible. I really rate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Too bad you guys can't get Aguila Interceptor. I ran some field tests years back when it first came out. A 40 grain RN was clocking 1500 fps from a 20 inch barrel. (average of 20 rounds at 10 ft.) Pretty accurate too.~ Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
