Re: Sub-sonic?
i really like the aguila golden eagle rifle match, and they probably would be even better performing through a better platform than my mkII. to me, they don't perform as well as the wolf or sk match ammos, however the aguila is about half the price, which allows me to do alot more of quality shooting affordably. if i was benchrest shooting at 50 yards in competition, i would probably use the wolf / sk / rws / lapua ammos, as you do get what you pay for with these.
the only "untweeked" rifle that i have experience with that shoots both hv and sub /sv ammos equally well is a cz 452 bull barrel.
i think that just as joe said, you have to spend a little up front to see what works the best through your setup for the kind of shooting you want to do and for your budget, then buy a whole lot of it.
i have an old stevens botl action "sears" rifle that loves the shorts, and is what i use to take care of critters around the house. at 75 yards, they are pretty much useless, at least through that rifle.
i like the subssonic / match ammo for paper at all ranges, as it just seems more consistant throughout all those ranges and any of the subssonic / match ammos i've tried (except rem subsonics past 75 yards) never had too many of the "wild" flyers i have gotten with HV. seems that when a HV goes astray, it really goes astray. i have had some good groups with cci blazer, a HV ammo, just not as good as using the standard (or under) velocity ammos.
Cserv, check out some of the targets posted in the rimfire comp threads and take note of the ammo / rifle used. they may give you some more food for thought on either side of the HV vs. SV vs. SS fence.
in the end, i have more confidence in the performance / consistancy of standard / match / subsonic velocity ammo.
