    If your looking to fire them out of a CZ rifle, don't worry about buying them, CZ recommend you don't use them in there rifles

    7.8ft lbs may not clear the barrel. 420fps and 20 grain, what could you shoot with that?

    Bought some CCI quiet yesterday and have just run 50 through CZ 455 and can't get better than inch and a half at thirty yards. Changed to CCI Standard at the end and easy below half inch grouping. So not sure what I'll do with the other 450 quiets.

    I would hope they perform better in my 22 I've a hundred coming to me during the week to try them out. I'm expecting a 3" group at 50 yards and hoping for a ragged hole at 20 yards. They are only designed to shoot between 10 and 20 yards

    I'll give them a go at 20 yards and see if they're any better.

    Tried them at 20 yards today, only shot two five groups but both were half inch, so not bad at close range.

    I got to the range on Saturday for a few shots. The photos with the big groups are CCI Quite and the tighter groups are CB Long 29gr. Both at 25 metres

    Would they be worth getting for just shooting rats around farm buildings?

    Just tried another 2 x 5 groups at 30 yards and have done a bit better at 3/4" and just under 1". Think that's as good as they'll get for me.
