Introduction

I’ve been diving into the world of .22LR ammunition and recently came across the RWS Subsonic HP 22LR. I’m curious about its performance, especially for target shooting and small game hunting. Has anyone had any experience with this particular load?

Performance Details

From what I’ve heard, RWS is known for its quality, but I’d love to hear from those who have actually used the Subsonic HP. Here are a few specific points I’m interested in:

  • Noise Level: Since it’s subsonic, how quiet is it compared to other .22LR options?
  • Accuracy: What has been your experience with precision at different ranges?
  • Expansion: For those using it for hunting, how effective is the expansion on small game?
  • Reliability: Any issues with feeding or ejection in various firearms?

Comparing Alternatives

I’m also trying to understand how it stacks up against similar products in the market, like CCI Mini-Mag or Federal Auto Match. How does the RWS Subsonic HP hold up in consistency and overall performance?

Pricing and Availability

Lastly, what have you found regarding availability and pricing? Is it competitively priced, or tends to be on the higher end? Where do you usually buy your ammunition?

Conclusion

Thanks in advance for any insights you can share about your experiences with the RWS Subsonic HP 22LR. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated as I look into potentially purchasing this ammo for my upcoming outings!

That’s great to hear, matthew99! I’m curious about the velocity. How does it compare to other subsonic options you’ve tried?

4

I’ve found that the RWS Subsonic tends to be a bit quieter and has a lower velocity, around 1050 fps. It’s perfect for not disturbing the neighborhood while plinking.

5

Exactly! I prefer subsonic ammo for my backyard range sessions. Any thoughts on consistency with this brand?

6

In my experience, RWS is very consistent. I’ve had very few flyers in my groups, which is crucial for precision shooting.

7

That’s good to know! How does it stack against other brands like CCI or Aguilla?

8

I’d say RWS has a slight edge in layers. CCI has a bit more punch, but RWS is quieter, which I prefer for target shooting.

9

Quieter is definitely a plus! I was thinking of trying RWS for some indoor ranges.

10

Indoor shooting with RWS is great! Just ensure your range allows subsonic ammo; some don’t want the sound carrying.

11

Good point! On a side note, RWS just sounds cool, right? Makes us feel like secret agents!

12

Ha! I like that idea, robinsonterrence! But seriously, how would you rate the expansion of these HP rounds? Good for small game?

13

I’ve seen decent expansion on small game. They do pretty well within 25 yards, which is mainly what I use them for.

14

Sounds like they would be a good choice, especially for silent hunts. I’ll definitely try these next!

15

I recently tried the RWS Subsonic HP 22LR for target shooting. The consistency is impressive, but it can be a bit finicky with certain firearms. Overall, a solid choice for precision work!

I’ve used it for small game hunting and found it very effective. It delivers good stopping power without too much noise, which is a bonus for stealth.

18

That’s interesting! I was wondering if you faced any issues with penetration or expansion?

I mainly use it for plinking and love it. It shoots well and is very affordable; I think it’s perfect for casual practice sessions!
