Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires 22 Short and LR Subsonic - for hunting

65BR, shorts are pretty much like the LR in that each gun has its preference. You will find some guns with the LR chamber will shoots different styles of shorts with results ranging from abysmal to superlative. One of mine was a Rem. 572 which shot Winchester shorts better than most LR fodder. It eschewed Remington and CCI shorts.

As to hunting with subs and their accuracy, poke around and you'll probably find something your gun likes. The rest is up to you so far as placement. Target below was shot with a stock 10/22. The CB longs and CCI Quiet fed from the magazine but required a tug on the bolt to make it happen. Others fed fine.



I found that HVHP short ammo suffered somewhat in penetration and quit using it on hogs. The CCI LRSV works OK.
