    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.

    • @thegunviking
      @thegunviking  2 месяца назад +2

      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

    • @thegunviking
      @thegunviking  2 месяца назад +1

      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.

    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.

    • @thegunviking
      @thegunviking  Месяц назад

      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.

    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.

    • @thegunviking

    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?

      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.

      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 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.
