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. Try the Gemtech ammo I suggested in another post in this thread. It cycles an MP 15-22 just fine. |
