Oh, OK...what I'm referring to is that I only used Winchester Power Point HP (high velocity stuff, about 1250+ fps?).
No supersonic 'crack' either.
But my Martini has a long barrel so maybe it slowed the bullet down enough so that it didn't go supersonic?
When I first fired it with the plastic 'can' I thought I had a misfire until I heard the bullet hit the target tree.
Firing the same ammo through my JW15 with the HushPro RF on I can hear the shot (not quiet enough to hear the firing pin strike).
Yeah, the JW is a tad quieter than shooting without the HushPro RF on it.
I've never shot sub sonic .22 ammo at any time. Wondered why folks bothered as my Martini shot so quietly.
I am guessing, but it's all probably to do with the difference between my Martini and the JW (with it's shorter, skinny barrel).
