Anyone tied new Winchester 45gr .22lr

[Blackdog]

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.

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.

This is very interesting.
I'm going to have to get some and experiment.

So Michael,
are you going to shoot 22lr for Lever Action Pistol Caliber?

Couple chances this weekend to shoot PC lever action.
Could not find Winchester Super suppressor but did find 45 grain CCI Suppressor. They are 100fps slower than the Winchesters.
Tomorrow I can try them at the club shoot on 100 meter PC Rams.

Then, Sunday, there is a NRA sanctioned match in Los Angeles.

Negative results with the 45gr CCI Suppressor ammo
Set up on a table with bags and took a dozen shots at two PC Rams at 100 meters. I was able to land many solid hits and nothing. Nice marks but the targets never moved.
