Me too. Looking forward to the range report.
Hmmm, very interesting... I was not expecting them to have their own headstamped brass! The ammo looks a lot like Federal/CCI copper plated (read: dusted) 40gr ammo for AR15s...
It kinda surprised me they had their own head stamp, too. I was expecting to read the fine print and find out it was mfg by one of the big names. Hoping to get home before dark one day this week. Otherwise probably won't get a chance to shoot it til this weekend.
Keep us updated for sure. Also, have you seen the Aguila 60gr 22LR? I got 500rds of it a month ago for an ok price with the current market craziness and it is hilarious looking... I have a new CZ457 Pro Varmint in 22LR that I put a Magpul sling and Simmons 3x-10x 44Mag scope on with the Leupold 11mm dovetail mount/rings and it is still waiting for me to sight it in lol.
Hadn't seen it or really heard of it til now. It's definitely goofy looking, but could be a decent subsonic option. Especially if it's the same energy as a HV as they claim.
Supposedly it was originally designed for a government/military covert type project but it never really went anywhere so they sell it to the civilian market. But, I prefer basic $5/50 CCI Standard Velocity 40gr 22LR for general purpose ammo as it is subsonic, and still accurate in many rifles due to the consistency of a high end manufacturer.
The biggest issue with the Aguila SSS (Sniper Sub Sonic) is the standard twist rate of a .22 Lr (1:16”) is a bit slow to stabilize the bullet well. Hopefully it shoots well for you in your new CZ, but if it isn’t very accurate shooting them this is probably the cause.
Wow, I'm impressed with the Tippman ammo! It is not that much worse than the Federal ammo and especially considering the conditions! I'll have to keep an eye out for some!
It may very well end up being ok. I'll shoot it on a decent day with a real rest in more rifles next time. I was on my way back from squirrel hunting (for the first time in several years) and kind of stopped to shoot it on a whim. That rifle generally shoots any Federal HV ammo into one hole and my hunting ammo is some old bulk CMP Federal stuff I picked up years ago.
Yeah I had a typo that I fixed and it sounded like I was insulting the Tippman ammo... I thought it did very well actually.
The fact it did OK means I'll definitely try it in some other rifles and a pistol or 2. My T/C Classic isn't extremely picky and usually shoots everything OK at least.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, I think I actually put that in my post too. That would explain the decent accuracy. I wonder if we could find an MSDS sheet for this ammo and it would say for sure who made it.
