22 ammo, but not at match grade prices. Its certainly a bit light for adult raccoons and similar sized varmints but the penetration is excellent and it will reliably kill them, certainly more than Ive seen in the past with lighter supersonic hollow points. The squirrels and rabbits generally dont react much to the hit but they never get far and wounding through the vitals is often around 3/8 to 1/2. I get signs of expansion and kills take mere seconds on small rabbits and squirrels, while penetration on an 18 pound adult male raccoon was through-and-through on a quartering shot that entered the front shoulder and exited just in front of the rear leg on the opposite side. Terminal performance on small game (squirrels, raccoons, and rabbits in particular) has been nothing short of excellent across the entire weight range. This is obviously nice for both the shooter and the neighbors, as well as probably being less likely to spook game in the area than a louder supersonic round. Much quieter than any of the higher velocity supersonic hunting loads. I dont run a suppressor but this is still very quiet ammo, its well under the sound barrier at an average of 980 FPS from my rifle. With the current stainless Marlin and its peep sights I can hit golf balls offhand out to about 25 or 30 yards, which is basically the outer limit for this rounds effectiveness anyway. Accuracy has been as good or better than anything else Ive tried, including some very expensive match ammo. Ive ran this load exclusively through two different Marlin M60s after initial accuracy and reliability testing and the results are as follows: 22LR load from CCI, their Suppressor product, a 45 grain lead hollow point (hard wax-based lube, very clean to handle) at an advertised velocity of 970 FPS. But, I think it is possible that the report could get lost in a new development with a number of pneumatic hammers being used to frame houses.Īt any rate, it is obvious that our arguments are passing by each other, so I don’t think there is a reason for me to respond further.I thought Id share my experiences over the last 6 months or so with a new-to-me. I wouldn’t go shooting one in the back yard of a suburban neighborhood, as they still sound like a firearm. I can write- without any hyperbole whatsoever- that you are the only person in the history of humanity that claims that a suppressed 300 BO shooting subsonic ammunition is ‘loud as fuck.’ As far as shooting stuff with a self contained metallic cartridge firearm is concerned, they are pretty damned quiet. My retort about your abysmal reading comprehension was in direct response to your mangling of my written observations in order to dress your straw man. And, while I won’t go as far as another to say that the trigger reset is the loudest thing going, the reset is surprisingly loud as well. Without the blast from the cartridge, the sound of the projectile impacting down range is startlingly loud. The sound of the action cycling and slamming home is readily apparent. Without hearing protection, they are more pleasant to shoot that an unsuppressed 22lr shooting sv ammunition. You are making shit up to validate your mistaken claim that a suppressed 300BO shooting subs is “loud as fuck.” Someone else said their gun sounds like a paintball gun.
