    Keep an eye out for Aquila SSS sub sonic. Rather than drop to loading they upped the size of the projectile to 60gr. Especially if you want to carry a bit more energy into your target. can be hard to get though...

    Funny looking things, sort of a 22 short case with a huge long bullet. None of my 22s would stableise them, shot side on holes all over the target at 10 metres. But they were super quiet without a silencer sort of a pop. I guess a fast twist is needed to have them work.

    they cycle in my browning buckmark rifle just fine, get a face full of shit from every shot though. they wont cycle any of my 10/22's but they will several of my other semis to various reliability levels. now cycling and stabalizing would be a nice thing!
