I got tired of him and shot a couple shots of. He followed the noise of that bullet impacting all over. I then switched back to the small 25 yard birm and he returned. He ran up to my 25 yard target so I moved to my 50 yard and he quickly got over there after one or two shots. I had a road runner chasing my bullet impact one day out at the range when I managed to get the range all to myself. 22lr doesn't make enough noise from my 10/22 to scare off roadrunners or cottontails here. 22/45 lite have been subsonic from that Short Barrel.Įdit: on a side note, subsonic and standard velocity. All the brick ammo and CCI stingers I've shot through my Ruger. 22lr rimfire pistol that will accept the silencer. If you have a lot of that high velocity brick ammo and want to shoot it real quiet for fun, get you a. The difference is about 20-30fps at the muzzle between CCI standard and Subsonic. Almost as flat as the CCI standard velocity. I like the CCI subsonic hollow point because it shoots pretty flat. If you want quiet in a rimfire you need to shoot subsonic or sometimes standard velocity ammo in your rifle. But 17HMR unsuppressed is much louder than. The sonic crack from my 10/22 suppressed and the sonic crack from my. The suppressor just makes it hearing safe. 22 suppressed is still quieter than not with the suppressor. ALL of the others have to be directed at something soft and furry.Ī supersonic. I probably only shoot a dozen of each at max on paper for zeroing. I always purchase my rim fire shells(22RF and 17HMR) in 1000 batches and re zero for a new batch. If you read MikeG's report on his shooting a Chinese Water deer over here last November in the hunting threads he mentions how he was impressed with shooting a suppressed rifle and other deer only 200yrds away continued to graze in the corn field. They only hear the arrival of the bullet and this often confuses them as to what occurred. I have mentioned on here before that should you shoot any suppressed rifle and there are two possibilities, then shoot the furthest animal first and almost always the second, closer animal will run or walk towards you away from the bullet strike and almost always stop and look back to see what happened.

PPPPPZING THUNK!! another squirrel just 15yrds away actually walked across to see what had happened to his mate and whilst sniffing the carcase he went the same fate. If your getting any noise other than the click of the firing pin then your suppressor is garbage.ġ7HMR suppressed, you will still get the sonic PPPPPZING but if your suppressor is doing it's job, then no noise from the muzzle. Range judgement becomes vital.Ģ2RF suppressed, the bullet should make more noise as it hits than the actual noise from the rifle. Take the time to set up targets atġ0yrds, 25yrds, 50yrds, 75yrds and 100yrds and fire a shot at each with your working ammo and make a mental note of each result or initially write of on a piece of card until it becomes automatic. the misses were my fault not the cartridge. I'm on close to 300 rabbits in the last six weeks. I shoot 22RF every other day doing rabbit and squirrel control out to 100yrds and if I take the time to set my sights correctly then the hold over/under I require from 10yrds to a hundred is easily calculated. Number one, if the mz vel of the round is such that it is above the sonic level/sound barrier, then you are going to get some noise, but this noise is not a 'BOOM' as you hear from a plane. I have huge long term experience with sub sonics, both 22RF, 17HMR and larger calibers up to 30 so hopefully I can answer your question.
