![]() ![]() At best, it’s some fun, fruit busting fodder for a range session. Maybe, just maybe, it works at 25 yards and under, but that’s not how I hunt squirrels. I can’t, in good conscience, recommend this ammo for my squirrel hunting followers. After this big of a disappointment at such a short range, my testing was complete. I at least expected both groups to stack in a clover leaf fashion, but only one out of the two, five shot groups accomplished that. Well that was an unfortunate failure also. What’s even worse is I attempted two 25 yard groups, expecting the results to be somewhat better. I can’t tell you how much that aggravates me….! I certainly want another round on the market comparable to my coveted Eley Green Box Subsonic, and even Eley screwed that up with the White Box edition. Best Group out of the ten groups I shotĪnd finally all the groups together, just so you know I’m being honest about my results, and not trying to trash CCI Subsonic. I certainly had my hopes up for this ammo, as it’s quite cost effective ($6.50/100), and has a great hollow point cavity. It’s not gonna be a contender for the eastern gray squirrel out of any of my rifles…. I will say that for larger targets like groundhogs, past 50 yards, you could use this round. However I didn’t let the groups stop there. Sadly, from the results of the 10 shot group, this round doesn’t appear to be a contender for squirrel gettin’ duties…. A 10 shot group at 50 yards to start, warms up the barrel and gives me an idea of how this ammo is going to perform. I started with cleaning the barrel with a Hoppe’s #9 soaked patch with one pass, and then putting a dry patch in behind it to start with a unseasoned bore. Here are the results for the first 10 shots: You’ll see in this list of speeds that the 1099 FPS speed barrier was broken, and the auditory report was such that even with a suppressor I was able to make out the supersonic crack down range. I’m a bit of a freak when it comes to squirrel hunting, and I will attempt a shot longer than 50 yards if I have the clearance, and the stability to make such a shot. Knowing this I always want to start with chronograph data so that I have data to plug into iStrelok for holdovers in the woods. These are only what I look for, and may not match how you evaluate your ammunition selection. Must place five shots inside a penny or.My standards for subsonic hollow-point are: I do all my testing at 50 yards for groups that pass my standards. I picked this CCI Subsonic up at to test out to see if it was a worthy contender for squirrel in the fall season. My current favorite is the Green Box Eley Subsonic, which has sadly been replaced with the less accurate White Box Eley Subsonic.
