Lowest powered / quietest 22 round

[jeep78]

I buy the Super Colibres by the brick. Been uxsing them for 12 years and never had one stick. Shooting them in a 10-22.

do tell? they make a mess?

Possible baffle strikes.

Just curious, why not run it with a can?

Possible baffle strikes. Hell, CCI quiets are almost nothing. Really don't see the need to risk anything with how quiet they are.

Agulia Colibri, I got some with 390 fps,, they are quieter then my pellet gun without a suppressor.

CCI quiets are MUCH louder than the Colibris.

The colibri are the quietest but don’t expect much past 25 yards. I’ve knocked squirrels out of trees just to have them get up a few minutes later, shake it off and run. The CCI Quiets are good and will kill a squirrel, plus are accurate somewhat past 25 yards. Quite a bit louder than Colibris but you get punch and distance...but neither will cycle a semi auto like a 10/22. Also the Colibris will foul the hell out of the bore and chamber...badly!


“CCI Quiet Semi-Auto” are fairly new...at least to me. They jump up to 835fps over the 700-something fps of the standard quiets...that added speed adds significant snap (noise) but cycles the 10/22 bolt properly. Add a can and you’ve got a nice little “click”.

CCI Quiet 22lr is so quiet it doesn't scare cats.

Is that Bubbles with the 10/22?

I've never used anything weaker than CBs and CCI's new 22 LR "quiet" cartridge.

Both are VERY quiet when fired from a rifle.

Both are a lot louder fired from a handgun. The pressure inside the barrel is still fairly high when the bullet exits after sliding only 4 or 5 inches. But by the time the bullet has gone 20 inches down the rifle-length tube, the internal pressure has dropped a lot.

Read a study once that .22 start to lose velocity and pressure drops at around 10-12 inches
