New Winchester 42 grain Subs

Postby 247sniper » Wed Jul 13, 2016 3:23 pm

I ran out of my normal 40 grain subs the other day so I thought Id give the new 42 grain Win subs a go in my CZ455 .22LR.

Having no details for them as they are relatively new I took them up to my range and gave them a go, checking the accuracy and working out ballistic performance.
This was straight out of the box with no bullet/weight/case sorting etc, that I sometimes do.

Measured atmospheric condition at my location = 16.9 degrees, Pressure = 28.77 inHg
Average MV = 1067 over a 15 shot string.
Max velocity = 1094ftps
lowest velocity = 1051ftps

I also measured the velocities at 120 yards as well and also measuring the exact drop at this distance to calculate the exact bullet Ballistic coefficient.

This resulted in G1 standard BC= 0.152
With 10.25 MOA elevation recorded at 120 yards = 13 inch drop.

Accuracy at 50 yards (zero ranged) was sub half inch with the odd flyer which could be eliminate by bullet and rim thickness sorting. At 120 yards accuracy was just over an inch again with the odd flyer.

Seem to be very good in my rifle and looking forward to getting out on the rabbits with them .

And the accuracy?
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?

Sounds interesting. Always nice to have data. How did price compare with other manufacturers?

I bought a brick of them earlier this year and have been impressed with their performance (not that I have given them a scientific test other than a good zero but they work ok on varmints).

I have been using them for some time now and they are good.

My Marlin 39a shoots superbly with them as does the cz455 the best bit is my custom built Ruger (ish) even cycles them

They are even good on foxes out to 20 yards or so

I haven't had the bill yet lol. I think they were £42 for a slab of 500 iirc.
