Anyone tied new Winchester 45gr .22lr
Anyone tied new Winchester 45gr .22lr
Winchester has a 45gr .22LR ammo that runs just under subsonic. Have any of you tried it yet? I'm interested in your 100 yard group size.
In the past I have found Winnies to be rather inaccurate, just wondering how the new one are doing.

Sorry, Winchester rimfire is on my No Buy List. Had too many problems with them a few years back.

Same here - But this is "new" stuff - thought I'd ask first.
Will range test tomorrow and report finding.

Re: Anyone tied new Winchester 45gr .22lr
Tested the Winchester 45gr this weekend. At 100 yards it hit the same point of impact at CCI Std Vel.
Using a peep sight I can keep the groups to 3" at 100 yards - Winchester showed the same accuracy.
Lever Actin Silhouette match this weekend - I plan to us the 45gr Winchesters for 100 yard rams.
Results to follow.

Sounds like an interesting round. Probably intended for hunting?

I usually shoot CCI Standard Velocity ammo in Lever Actin Silhouette .22 matches. The .22 is marginal for Pistol Cartridge matches - the 100 yard rams are issue - too heavy for .22LR.
Yesterday I tried Winchester 45gr Supper Suppressor .22LR and knocked down every ram I hit. The Winchester hit the same point of impact at 100 yards as CCI and simply changed ammo - nothing else.
Didn't win, but that wasen't the ammo's fault.
Will I buy more - you bet!

Yes, PC Rams at the Austin Rifle Club. I've had the same targets stay up with hits from .22 magnum and Norma Tac22 ammo. The guy I was spotting lost two to .22 magnum ammo. One hit was center above the front leg...that usually produces a "ringer", but it fell with the 45gr.
Not sure I'd trust them with Raton rams, but I'm not going to New Mexico this year anyway.

Re: Anyone tied new Winchester 45gr .22lr
This is very interesting.
I'm going to have to get some and experiment.
