Yesterday I bought 1000 rds of CCI Quiet .22 LR Ammo from TargetSportsUSA.com for $87.31 delivered to my house. This was the best I could find without buying a case of 5000 rds. Anyone have other suggestions on where to buy subsonic 22 Ammo in Northeast GA? Or other online Ammo sellers?
 
I have had a .22 rimfire silencer for 15 years, and I've used it on several different host weapons both rifles and pistols.
Except for some garbage Remington ammo that had widely fluctuating powder charges and pressure levels,
I have never heard a supersonic crack from any "standard velocity" ammo.

So, my suggestion is look for a good deal on a case of standard velocity 22 target ammo. It does not need to be labeled and marketed as "subsonic" to be factually subsonic from most guns under most conditions.

P.S. CCI "Quiet" is FAR below the speed of sound.
It's not even in the same ballpark as other rimfire rounds when it comes to range and performance. We're Talking 700 ft./s versus 1030 ft./s

Thanks for the info! I just received my first suppressor after an 8 month wait. I put it on a bolt action rifle and when I shot Rem standard velocity ammo I still had to wear earplugs because it was uncomfortably loud. I switched to a box of RWS subsonic and with no hearing protection the only thing I could hear was the bullet hitting the backstop. Hence the reason I bought some more subsonic ammo. At 28 yards the subsonic changed point of impact 1" lower.

I want it as quiet as possible so I wont disturb the neighbors.
 
42 GR Gem tech ammo is stupid quiet , cci standard are quiet , if you want super accurate try Eley Target or RWS Target there both quiet and very accurate,, I Shoot Eley Edge but its more pricey than the others mentioned, it all depends on what you want to do
 
I haven't physically checked because of the Wu Flu, but Sporting Arms in Winterville usually has a good supply of that kind of stuff and competitive prices.
