The ones in other peoples rifles because I couldn't get any to shoot for s**t! :D

The one that does shoot, and shoots the best of all for me actually though, is RWS Club.

Couldn't get anything out of any of the others I tried.

Don't use them, my .22lr's shoot better with standard velocity ammo and of all things highland target ammo cheap as chips, my mossberg must not stabilise or spin the high velocity stuff enough get 2" plus groups at 50, under 1" with highland target, have hunted with them also with success

I like them to Mega, they shoot fairly well in the Daughters 22 Savage, not sure if I've tried them in the Brno yet? Haven't tried them in a Hunting situation as I use the Win Power Points for the most part.

Have you tried any of the other RWS ammo?

The only one I've tried is the RWS Club which shoots fantastic. Curious about the others though.

I want to try some R50 when I can find it in stock, and would try the HV HP.

Have you tried the Club or R50 by any chance? I'm curious how it compares to the HV HP in your rifle to see if I can glean an expectation of it for myself.

ive tried a few rws in my cz452 and i thought they were great. i just prefer the SK SP for my rifle (very small margin of accuracy difference though ;-)
i also tried sk match plus but my rifle didnt like those nearly as much as the Standard Plus.

I did try some of their soft lead target ammo with excellent results as well but it's not suitable for bunnies, hence why I went with the HV HP. I tried CCI, Winchester, SK and several others whose name escapes me and the RWS shot the best in this particular rifle. It's not cheap but every rounds a winner :)
