sk subs

sniperman

anyone using these, Lapua SK Std Tubs 40g 22lr 500 per tub,from mc brides gun shop,?are these the same as the lapua in the 50 box that cant seem to be got anymore?reason for asking is the lapua were the best most accurate subsonic i have used in in cz 455,hole on hole groups at 50 yards,would love to get some again for bunnies come summer;)

Good ammo. It's not the exact same as the boxed stuff (SK plus), but performance shows they are as good. Shot through a Cz 452.

sniperman

Was on the range myself yesterday fitting a new scope to my .22. It's a CZ452 with Parker Hale mod.

I had tried various rounds over the last weeks and found CCI, Remington, etc. just not cutting it. I then got a box of Eley practice and Winchester Subs. Now i'm not sure they are the same as the ones you used but my grouping was a cloverleaf at 50 mtrs. With both.

I have not tried the SKs in my own rifle, and am looking at trying some Federal soon (the bulk box). The midlands range are selling the Eley practice for €4.50 a box so the price would be €45 for 500. With the results i'm getting i'd find it hard to switch to SKs unless then are effectively single holing 5 round groups. To give you an idea, in your picture you have a Euro coin. The tightest group i got yesterday could be covered by a 2 cent coin, and the average group by a 5 cent coin.

The Winchesters were just as good. In fact i'd hate to live on the difference between the two round. The only real difference is price. The Winchesters were €6 per box. It's these ones:

Not that i'm aware of.

I tried lots of different ammo in my sako quad 22lr and I've found eley to be the most accurate in my rifle.

I'm using eley sport and eley subsonic at present.
Accuracy is great with both. I also shot the eley subs through my two mates cz455 and 452 rifles and accuracy was great with both rifles and they have now started using them as well.
My rifle didn't like the winchester subs but I tried them in my mates cz455 and they shot well.

Cass

If i had to choose, i'd be the Eley. Just that little bit more consistent, as accuracy between the two is impossible to split.

sniperman

well,done another grouping session today with the last of the sk subs i had,im well impressed,gonna get me a tub:D

Cass

That is a marked improvement from the other. Think you've found your round.

I get them in n ireland as I live near the border.
They are 50 pounds sterling for 500 which is not bad.
