Going to pic up the Remington and maybe eley today if my local gun shop has it,what can I use other than ballistic jel as a testing medium(never made it) if there's nothing else I guess I could but I'd rather not
I use the CCI, the ones that are in the 800 fps range. They come in shorts and longs, I prefer the longs for the sake of the rifle.
I find too many shorts down the pipe the gun gets a foul ring where the bullet leaves the casing, resulting in poor extraction of longs down the road without cleaning.

That should keep you searching for a while.

I'd be interested in seeing the CCI Quiet-22, and CCI Quiet-22 Segmented. I have a bit of both, but have never tried the Segmented. I do some pigeon clearing from barns in the winter for some farmer friends of mine, and do know that unless it's a head shot, rarely will a CCI Quiet (the solid) do the job instantly. I have higher hopes for the Segmented, but also have a hard time imagining it will open-up well moving that slow. Would LOVE to see if it does.

The winchester 40gr hp sub has always been good in my rifles.
What rifles are you using? Aren't they the longer tapered bullets?

In the test the gun will be a newly modifyed Cooey 60, today I picked up a brick of Remington sub's because you know why not
The cooey shoots everything! I love my grandfathers. Im happy you are testing a bolt action. Would be nice to test a stock 10/22 also.
Would be interesting to see the loss of speed because of the blowback semi auto.

If you can get Winchester subsonic in Canada... I used a lot of it in NZ through my (then) suppressed 10-22. That ammo was produced in Australia. Lots of bunnies and possoms.. And, the rifle cycled very well. They're hollow point copper-washed lead bullets.

Ya subs are great for rabbit and squirrel
I use the CCI Quiet-22s extensively, and would love to know if others experience the same variability in group sizes depending on temperature. When I was out shooting on a chilly morning, the target looked like a damned shotgun was fired at it. But when the day heated up and got near 30C, I was hitting the bullseye 9 out of 10 times.
