Have you tried this

It seems to cycle my woodsman but I only fired a couple.

I've tried them. They cycled OK in my Hi Standard but they didn't
seem to stabilize properly. A fair number of them passed through the
target sideways for some reason.

It may have to do with the twist rate of the rifling. I know the army
had to change the twist rate of the M16s when they went to the heavier
NATO bullet. I think I linked an article about it here a while ago.
I was just popping them off in the screen cage so I did not really see
them hitting paper. I was just curious how quiet they were and if they
would cycle. It is a little quieter than a regular lr or my shot pin
nailer.

You really need a suppressor to make them truly quiet. If you want
quiet around the house and don't need a lot of power, an inexpensive
CO2 BB pistol from Walmart is really hard to beat. I have an Umarex
X-B-G which is very effective on pests and also very quiet. The CO2
cartridges last a long time and a bottle of BBs is darn near a
lifetime supply. The muzzle velocity of 410 fps packs a surprising
amount of punch.

powder charge to properly cycle my semi-auto rifle or pistol. It's too
bad, because the stuff usually is inexpensive. I have an almost full
small box left, and I guess I'll give it away.

It'll work fine in a revolver or bolt action rifle, of course, and it is
quieter than the standard charge or hi-velocity .22LR rounds.

So, for the time being, the best rounds for my silencer-equipped
firearms are the CCI Standard Velocity bullets, which have a full powder
charge but are just subsonic. They cycle flawlessly.

Norma makes a round called the Tac-22 which also is slightly subsonic
and is supposed to cycle semi-autos properly. Haven't come across any
yet.

I have to say that the full Volquartsen "accurizing kit" was worth the
time and aggravation of the install, and the barrel I sent off to that
company for threading came back with the job beautifully done. Good
company, good customer service, good prices. If I were interested in
competing seriously in rimfire, I'd get one of the complete Volquartsen
pistols.




I have almost a full box (500 rounds) of sub sonic .22 ammo also. Like
you say, it worked ok in the Ruger revolver I had but doesn't have
enough punch to properly cycle the Ruger SR22 I have. I haven't tried
it in the 10/22 rifle.


If I had a mag of 10 "quiet" rounds loaded, typically the pistol would
cycle two or three properly, and the rifle, three. I thought the
silencer would have an impact one way or the other, but it doesn't.

You might try seeing if Ruger has another recoil spring for that Mk
that is a little softer for the light load or just get a new one and
start nipping coils off the one you have. It is really better to get a
softer spring tho. They do make blowback guns that will cycle on
standard velocity shorts. You just have to remember which spring you
have in it. A regular HV .22 will beat the crap out of it otherwise.


It's a captured recoil spring on a rod held together with rivets. The
CCI "Standard" Veloc ammo cycles fine and there's no sonic boom with my
"Sparrow".

That Ruger is a strange breed of cat.

It is odd. Works well, shoots well. I like it because it has a steel upper
and lower. The 22/45 models have a polymer lower and feel top heavy to me
but they are very popular.
