CCI 'Quiet-22' Ammo...not for me.
I've blown through a small box of 50 rounds of CCI's "quiet-22" ammo and
while it fires properly and is as accurate as it should be, I've concluded that, as some have reported, it just doesn't have enough of a 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. -- Proud to be a Liberal. |

The "quiet" .22 is probably more suitable for bolt action or revolver. Unless youu use a lighter recoil spring but then it might have a problem loading the next round

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. |

It's louder than the sub sonic .22 rounds. Probably because it's muzzle velocity is 1,200 to 1,400 ft/sec depending on what kind of pellets you use. |

Said he'd had them for a while and didn't need them anymore. The only thing I have I can shoot them in would be a cherry 1960's Savage Model 24 in .22/.410 with the selector on the hammer. Everything else is semi-auto LR. |

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. https://www.google.com/#q=umarex+x-b-g http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/umarex-xbg-177-cal-co2-bb-pistol?a=979238 |

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". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKGXW5tp71Q -- Proud to be a Liberal. |

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. -- Sent from my iPhone 6+ |
