You wrote CCI Sub Sonic, are you shooting groups with hollow points? Or was it CCI Standard Velocity?
Nope, it’s CCI Subsonic. And yes you’re correct they are hollow points for small game. I think it groups really well. Looks like my AR-22 (Compass Lake Barrel) is printing tight groups as well and cycling reliably.
Last time I was at one of our local gun shops, they had a good supply of CCI Standard Velocity I recall but was there on other business and didn’t pick up any to try. Have you’all had decent results with this ammo?
CCI-SV is good ammo. You wrote "CCI Subsonic" on the target. The only CCI "Subsonic" I'm aware of is hollow point, I want to get some of that; but it's out of stock everywhere. You should be able to find CCI-SV, but it's expensive at this time. I have almost a case of it left that I was getting for $25/brick (500) before the ammo "shortage" bs.
@Cowpokey Did you check your LGSs backroom?
I broke down and told the owner I was looking for some subsonic HPs and he asked "40gr? 45gr? Segmented?" Uhm, yes! "Follow me!" Bam! Found and told "Well you know where it is now. Don't be greedy."
The LGS here has an indoor 25 yard range; they have customers that buy everything. Most of it is appropriately prices, given the circumstances, but he knows to let me know if he gets anything interesting in...that's how I got the Weatherby Mark XXII bolt action. The owner gets his hair cut at the barbershop my wife owns. We're on good terms, he doesn't hide anything from me.@Cowpokey Did you check your LGSs backroom?
That groups really well for hollow points. I'm going to get some the next time I see it.
Next time I get a chance go out it’ll be some KYL fun. And if there’s time, maybe a bolt vs semi auto face off on paper at 50 yds with the CCI Subsonic suppressed. Should be fun.
I've been shooting CCI-SV for years, a lot of folks like to talk down about them, they've done well out of everything I've put them in. I'm using SK with my Vudoo, it's good...at some point I will see how it does with CCI-SV, but since I have a case and a half of SK, that won't happen too soon.
Too funny. As soon as I read your last, wife and I were at a restaurant and I began looking online for SV. Found it available and would order later too night. Wife then wants to visit local WalMart so I strolled over to sporting goods and there it is.
