CCI Sub Sonic 22 LR HP Ammo

6mm06,

I shoot them suppressed out of my Savage bolt action and they are, as they say, stupid quiet. You hear the firing pin drop and then the whop when they hit the target. People just laugh when I let them shoot that rifle as they can't believe how quiet it is.
 
I too shoot them almost exclusively suppressed. They are my go-to hunting ammo. The segmented subs are real effective as well. They are extremely quiet most of the year, with supersonic only in the coldest parts of winter, when it's not much fun to shoot a lot anyway.

I think I have a half dozen different manufacturers 22lr cans, but primarily shoot a TBAC 22 takedown these days. Great stuff.

While subsonic HP's aren't as quiet as the CCI Quiet ammo, they are usually significantly more accurate and much more impactful on the target.
 
The general thought is always that subsonic is more accurate. If you find them give the winchester subsonic TC a go. They have been more accurate than the CCI for me and are a reasonable price. Tons of better ammo if you wanna pay. SK magazine I think it is called are the eley rejects. Supposed to be pretty good for a mid priced round, but you will get some fliers since they are not up to the same QC. I have some but never got around to shooting it.

Those CCI SSHP have huge driving bands and are really hard to chamber in some guns such as CZ. They seem to do best in guns with sloppy chambers like 10/22. They were good in 10/22 for me.

Given that SK sells rebranded Lapua... I find it difficult to believe that they now sell eley "rejects."
 
Try some CCI Quiet 22, they arent much good past 25yds, but they are only 68 decibels.
I fire them at groundhogs out my kichen window in suburbia.

i have tried every "quite" 22rf available. those aquilas linked above are the quietest i have shot.

but, i don't think they are what the guys in this thread are asking about. they have no powder at all. only relying on the primer to propel them. they are only 420fps. a very specialized cartridge.

Looked it up for me? ... don't you mean looked it up for YOU? I'm not the one giving false information. You'll notice you said it was eley in your original post.

SK = lapua.

No, I looked it up for you. I remembered it was the rejects of high quality ammo. Does not matter which brand high quality ammo to me. For a bulk ammo it just has a strong chance of performing well relative to the price, and that is the point.

If you really think you made a discovery, and you really think you informed me of something I didn't know...

I guess I'm happy for you. ... I guess.
 
Something I discovered with my rimfires and CCI subsonics is, if the rifle doesn't have one of the many match chambers available, it shoots real good. But mine with match chambers which about all of mine, it doesn't shoot so good and caming the bolt down is not easy either.
 
Grafs has lapua center x as well... which is probably the best value for your dollar in 22 target ammo.
