    Who has found some good subsonic ammo for their vudoo?
    Mine with 20” barrel seems to run fast, most of the match ammo is supersonic and even some of the advertised subsonic is supersonic. Anyone else run into this ?
     
    Sub or supersonic, it doesn't matter.
    Only cartridge quality and velocity uniformity are important.
    Tight mv's and well made cartridges will produce predictable trajectories.
    The velocity on the label is the average from the barrels used at the factory.
    It is not an indicator of what y'er rifle will produce under the conditions at y'er location.

    Supersonic transition has "insignificant" effect on accuracy with the 22lr.
    So says the Aberdeen Ballistics Lab.

    Last ten break in shots of 100 fired at 50 yds with my brand new Gen 3, 360. I’m using subsonic Norma tac-22. OBTW, that is a 1 inch target dot. I’m using Norma because of the outstanding price point and accuracy compared to Blue Chip target ammo. My Vudoo is an F class, prone, wind reading practice rifle.

    I expected SK Rifle Match to be the best choice for decent priced ammo, tried two different lots of it and wasn't too impressed. I bought half a case of SK Pistol Match and the results improved, so I bought a second case of SKPM (different lot) and it has very good consistency also. The difference in the two lots is 11 FPS, one is 1072fps, the other is 1083fps. SKPM SD tested 5.8-7.4fps, and ES 16-36, SKRM SD 6.7-14.8 and ES 21-56 all done in 10 round groups/tests.
