Excellent video. Congratulations. I just acquired a Tikka T1X and have plenty of 38gr Eley Subsonic ammo (because that's what my other CZ455 Ultramatch likes best). So, I am very happy with my Tikka and the Eley. Thank you!
I`m glad you liked it. I bough several hundred older subsonic from Eley. That was a let down. They went all over the place. But the newer ones was great.
Excellent work my friend 👏. That was exceptionally consistent, apart from a few. That last card certainly put up a fight. Only the 3rd round missed, every other round hit or touched. A little wind to test things. Yes, Eley need to send you a case of 5000 for thorough external evaluation and promotion. 🤣. I wish you the best with that request.
Yes, I touched the card with almost every round. A very resiliant card😊. I think my channel has to be 10x as big to get a single box, but it`s worth a try, right?
Nice groups with a decent subsonic hunting round. My Tikka T1X shoots most anything that's match/target subsonic into 1/2' or a little less at 50 yards. They're a great value rifle that's a lot of fun to shoot
It's by far my favorite squirrel hunting ammo. It's very accurate and consistent but I find it much hotter than they advertise. I'm getting 1109 fps in my 16 inch barrel. Might just be my lot.
That Eley Subsonic Hollow is GOOD stuff. The Eley HV hollow is almost as good. Just as a note- I was sighting my CZ 452 and my Remington 581 today and the Eley HV Hollow shot 5 shot in a ragged hole. Surprisingly, I had some very good results with that box of Fed 333 bulk. That box is a unicorn I'm afraid.
Sometimes that cheap stuff gives amazing groups, but they are, as you say, flukes. I have a video were I shoot the Thunderbolt, and it performs great. But that is normally not the case.
@thegunviking I shot some water jugs at 20- 100 with Stingers and was pretty surprised. Caught a few, or at least the jackets 😅 At closer ranges they came apart pretty good!
@@chrislang5659 I shot it at empty window washer fluid bottles. Went through two of them. I don`t think I`ll be able do do it this year, but next year I`ll make gelatine and test all the differen HP ammo I våcan get hold of.
Neat, looks like all last ones are flyiers. What kinda robot chronograph is that? Should do a review on it. Also since you ordering ammo get the Norma Hunter 22 Power lr.
That was fun. It seemed like that ammo liked fun targets more so than paper bullseye targets. How big is that white square you did the foulers with? Is that a 1/2" white square and the black is 1"? Do the paint balls make a permanent mess or does it dry and then wash away with the rain? It was a pretty good day sir. JimE
Hi! The target it 45mm from side to side, and if I remember correct the square is 0,7 inch. Take tht with a grain of salt, since i'm not home and can measure right now. The paintballs wash of in rain, and boy rain is in good supply in Norway these days.
@@thegunviking Thank you. I'm going to give the paint ball thing a try. Please send some rain to East Tennessee, USA. Thanks for the response. Keep shootin'. JimE
Its to bad they are a bit pricey. They are roughly 2-3 times more expensive than the CCI Standard(which I always use as a benchmark when it comes to price) where I live.
Hvor i landet er du? Prøver a finne bane her i nærheten av Vinterbro og sliter med a finne noe annet en 100 og 200m. Skal prøve Eley begge high velocity og subsonic hollowpoint i min CZ 457 Varmint snart👍
Jeg bor på østlandet, men bodde ikke langt fra Vinterbro tidlligere(Hauketo). Jeg skjøt på Løvenskiold der klubben, SSL/Sportsskytterligaen, har tilgang på 50 meter.
@@thegunviking Takk for svar, Jeg var tidligere medlem av Oslo sportskytere pistolklubb på lovenskjold banen men ville finne noe nærmerere så man trenger ikke a kjøre innom Oslo for trening. Nesten man tenker om a starte egen bane for rimfire benkeskyting😅
@@Nifilheimur Det ligger jo en bane som Ski PK disponerer i Ski, men husker ikke om du får 50 meter der🤔. Banetilgang er et større problem enn å få kjøpt jern om dagen…
Tjenare! Jag måste säga att jag inte förstår varför man vill använda ordet "jakt/hunting" tillsammans med "subsonic HP". Det finns SKs "HV match" som kunde vara intressant men man skall få tag på den också. 40/400 skulle vara nice, 40 grains 400 m/s eller mera...
Tjäna! Jeg fikk akkurat tak i noen pakker SK High Velocity Match. De har vært helt umulige å få tak i før. Utsolgte med en gang de kommer til butikk. De er på «to test» lista mi. Vi får se hvordan de oppfører seg.
@@thegunviking Här i Finland har jag inte sett någon ha dem. Jag har .22an med på sjöfågeljakt, därför gillar jag inte HP-ammunition. Och litet svårt ibland att bedöma "exakt" avstånd därför ser jag gärna litet extra "pulver". Skulle man ha extra € skulle jag gärna skaffa en Ruger American .22WMR i syntet och rostfritt, har en mindre 77/22 Allweather .22LR från tidigare. Har också en Tikka T3 Varmint Stainless .222Rem, men den är ofta litet våldsam...
It can. Evertime they start a new batch there are small, miniscule, differences. A tenth of a grain powder difference here, a 0.001" difference in bullet diameter etc. All this can add up and translate onto the target.
I have some Tac-22 that I plan to test in it. I have some footage with the Bergara and the Tac, and that was lets say variable. But since the Tac is RWS made, and the Tikka likes RWS it might be a good match.
Umm ... Best?? 😮 I have seen you shoot better with SK and other ammunition??? Is this click bait? 😢 You should have a question mark after "BEST" ! Nothing I own shoots Eley very well. I will never buy Eley ammunition again unless it is the last available ammo on the planet 😂😅
@thegunviking I think that is better and not misleading 😉 I tend to wonder why almost everytime your flier was on your last round 🤔 I would actually like to know if you stopped at 4, loaded one more round so the mag had 2 in it, then see if that round went in the same holes?? If it did, then the mag has a last round feeding issue, I would think? 🤔 Be fun to test anyways. Thanks for sharing!! 👍
@@CountryRimfire It wasn't my interntion to mislead anyone. But in my opinion the Eley is the best sub hp round on the market right now. When it comes to the fliers I think musch of it is me getting excited😄. But it's worth a test. I also have other mags I can use.
Thanks
Thank you so much! I will be putting them to good use!

Yes, the Tikka is probably one of the best over the counter sporting rifle in that pricepoint. Happy to hear that your Tikka performs great.
@thegunviking Love shooting tiny groups with it. Going to take it out to the woods soon for a small game hunt too
@@frankbrowning328 Sounds great. I don`t have time for any hunting these days
Looks like you got a good lot. I have had hit and miss with subsonic ammo no matter who made it. Good shooting by the way.
Thanks! I have tested the two Aguilas, Winchester and Eley subsonic this year. The Eley is by far the best of them(at least this lot).
Personally I find this ammunition to group the best out of most of my collection! They are deadly for hunting too! Thanks for the video:)
I`m very happy with the Subsonic. I have had bad lots with them too, but usually they work great.
It's by far my favorite squirrel hunting ammo. It's very accurate and consistent but I find it much hotter than they advertise. I'm getting 1109 fps in my 16 inch barrel. Might just be my lot.
It might be that lot. Eley does not give a set velocity for their ammo, but rather an interval.
Great work Viking 9mm cases at 50 meters excellent accuracy.
I`ll try them at 100 next time.
That Eley Subsonic Hollow is GOOD stuff. The Eley HV hollow is almost as good.

I enjoy theese tests, very informative. Good job! 👍
Thank you so much!
I've got an old 880 sq Marlin that likes them very much. Used to be my squirrel rifle but I've gotten a CZ that I like even better.
My next rifle will be a CZ, well actually a BRNO model 2. That was my first rifle as a young kind, and I regret to this day that I sold it.
@@thegunvikingfine piece of equipment.
@@jamestboehm6450 Thats for sure!
Great as always! Yea! Paint Balls!!!
Paintballs are fun targets. I'll try to get some slow motion next time.
Not bad at all!
I do have a little trouble believing that a subsonic hollow point would get any expansion.
I have seen videos with hp testing, and most of them expand very well. I have bought gel, but have not have time to do any expansion tests my self

There is a big variation in the speeds
A bit bigger than the results would indicate.
Neat, looks like all last ones are flyiers. What kinda robot chronograph is that? Should do a review on it. Also since you ordering ammo get the Norma Hunter 22 Power lr.
It`s prochrono. It`s the app that has voice calling the velocities. I have never seen the Norma Hunter in Norway, unfortunately.
That was fun. It seemed like that ammo liked fun targets more so than paper bullseye targets.

I've heard you speak about different Lot numbers or manufacturing dates.. does this have a thing to do with MOA?
It can. Evertime they start a new batch there are small, miniscule, differences. A tenth of a grain powder difference here, a 0.001" difference in bullet diameter etc. All this can add up and translate onto the target.
Hi Mr Viking..Did you run into any firing pin issues with the tikka t1x yet?
Hi! No, it has worked like a charm. I have had a few ftf, but that is to be expected. Do you own a T1, and have you had any issues?
how many yards was that
Hi! It`s 50 yards.
Cci 970 and 1050 segmented hp
I have them in the ammo closet, and I will be testing them. To much ammo, to little time…
@thegunviking
Viking, you can never have too much ammo,especially these days of prices going up and up.
With the Tikka, I've had better results with Tac 22 than with the Eley. Just doesn't seem to like the Eley that much...
I have some Tac-22 that I plan to test in it. I have some footage with the Bergara and the Tac, and that was lets say variable. But since the Tac is RWS made, and the Tikka likes RWS it might be a good match.
