Thread: Subsonic 22LR round for hunting?

You can always try another brand but a 2inch plate at 70mtrs is a dead rabbit 100% of the time. Nice going mate.

cci do a supersonic round called quikshock, the projectile splits into 3 pieces on impact and causes huge trauma. i believe they now do a subsonic round that does the same

I bought some Remington subs the other day to mess around with on targets and they are shit, 1 in 5 comes out with a crack. Getvwhat you pay for though were well cheap

Any news on the heavier subsonic ammo fromthe US , by CCi & Win ?

What ones are those?

I think , CCI & American Eagle , & WIn are all doing a 45gr subsonic , aimed at the US 10/22 & pistol users that run suppressors .

I would like to have a play with some of that

I usually sight in my 10/22 to be 1" high at 25-metres; to be on at 50-metres with standard Winchester Powerpoint for hunting. I'm now about to try using subsonics with a slip on suppressor for rabbits/possums. What do you usually sight in for (at 25-metres) to be on at 50 with subs? I can't really find a definitive answer online. Thanks!!! :-)

Yeah, that should be good. I sight mine in at 25m, just play around at 50m, 75m and 100m until you get an idea of what your hold over is like for those distances. If you have the option to dial, I'm using 11moa at 100m with a 25m zero.

If you have a duplex reticle on 4x power, the tip of triangle on the bottom post is 60-70m for me. The bottom of the triangle is about 80m and 100m is random part of the way (about 1/5) down the post ... ?

I sight mine in at 20yds.
Winchester 40gr sub chrony ave 1035fps. so according to strelok app........
20yd 0.00
30yd -0.45"
40yd -0.59"
50yd -0.35"
60yd 0.24"
70yd 1.22"

so zero at 20yd means it's back at zero around 55yd. Since i sighted in at this range i have aimed straight at the target out to around 70yd and have not missed. This is as accurate as I care to set it up as i just use a 4x32 scope, rifle is a JW15 fully suppressed.

Thank you both :-)

I've now got a good feel for what my rifle and scope do at various distances with CCI subs. I zero at 50 metres. At 25 metres, it shoots a little high, but not really worth changing anything. Shoots a good 3 inches low at 75 metres. If I put the end of the thick part of the lower reticle on what I want to hit, it comes good. Great groupings at all of those distances. I've yet to get either good grouping or consistent drop at 100 metres, so still working on that!

Minimags are great if you dont mind the crack. I used to buy CCI subs but now just use the standards as they are only 20-25fps faster than subs and $30 cheaper a brick. I dont mind that they are not HP and the rabbits dont seem to notice the difference as they still jump then lie still when hit.
If you want really quite you can try those cci quiets but they are only about 700fps I think.
