Now that .22 is plentiful again I've been buying various types just to see what works and what doesn't so that during the next panic I'm only over-paying for ammo I know my guns like. Or something.
Anyway, I got one box of Winchester Super Suppressed 45gr subsonics to try out. Out of my S&W compact and TS conversion they were horrible. Not baffle strike horrible but still "missing the bullet trap at 15 yards" bad. I stopped using them at that point.
Today I took them to the range with some other random 5 cent / round stuff (as pictured below) and ran them out of my Savage bolt gun. Off the bipod and rear bag, at 50 yards the others were averaging 0.25" - 1" for 5 shot groups. The Winchester? Had trouble keeping them on the paper plate. At 100 yards they were patterning like an a cylinder bore choke. Useless for anything but making noise.
I don't know if I just got a bad batch or what, but these will not get a buy rating from me.
