22lr CCI quiet ammo

[Caleb314]

CCI Quiets are perfect for the Henry. Almost as quiet as shorts - which, for some reason, my Henry Frontier manual says not to use (?): specifically CB (conical ball) shorts.

The key is to get them on sale...I have seen some dealers charging MORE for a round that actually contains LESS, lol...

The guns will fire and cycles them fin its just they are worried about squib loads since some shorts and all CB use the power of the primer and nothing more.

The reason they cost more is that they are specialty rounds and will take time to change the machines to produce these and they can't just run them all year long full rip because it doesn't sell as well

I was just in Canadian tire looking at some wondering if any of my hardware would like the CCI Quiet.

Have some trouble with this ammo @25yrds in my cz455 , savage mrk2 and my ns522
Just my own experience..ymmv
Accuracy wasn't what I was hoping for (wanted it for pest control within 25 yrds)I have 500 rnds that are of no use to me :/
Completely my own experience yours may vary.
Just my 2 cents.

I know what it is like to buy a big amount of ammo and not be able to use it, I picked up 380 .308 Russian rounds that won't cycle through any of my semis, I know now to buy 1 box at a time to try it out, sucks being out $300 and having 360rds just sitting around!

I use the Quiet-22s almost exclusively out of a Savage MKII btvss, and at first I was not at all impressed with them. I chrono'd the results and they were wildly inconsistent, and having picked up like a thousand, I was pissed. Then one day I went out back and shot about 250 of them, and part way through all of a sudden things tightened up like I couldn't believe - the little squirrel spinner target at 50yds I can peg very reliably in the head now. I don't think it was the ammo after all, I guess I carbon'd up the grooves enough that things have a consistent seal or something (I did buy the rifle new). I just love this stuff - half of my air rifles are actually louder then this, no joke.

If anyone is up near Petawawa, I think, there's some kind of gas station/variety store/gun shop place that's kinda awesome... we went in there just to look around (well, and to buy an improved cylinder) and when I looked at the ammo, they had quite a few 500 bricks of Quiet-22. Might still have them, 'cos for some reason I stupidly did not buy them all

I'm in for a box or 10!!

i just booked more, but no eta

ahh cool ... thank you.

I hope the factory can make a nice big run of these so we can all have some real quick.

I bought a box of this at a local store with the intent of testing it out of the 10-22. I've successfully fired a lot of winchester subsonic out of it in New Zealand (with the suppressor that I had to sell down there before bringing the rifle back) and am looking forward to trying this ammo. (won't mention the store's name because this is CanadaAmmo's forum).
If it works, and if the job market improves soon, I'll look to CanadaAmmo for a bigger purchase.

 

[UNknownSUBject]

any news? my trigger finger is getting itchy again.

I guess any brand of 22lr quiet ammo would do. I wouldn't mind trying them all really. LOL

 

[clvtch]

Works great in the Henry!

Hmmm, my lever Henry .22 would enjoy...

 

[The Cheshire]

This is where I like my Browning BL22 it will eat just about anything I would like to try a box or two

 

[The_Angry_Kraut]

If you read posts about the ammo, unless you use a bolt action rifle the quite ammo won't cycle the semi auto rifles.

Correct. My S&W M&P 15-22 does not and it says specifically in the manual not to use sub-sonic.

I fired a bunch of quiet-22s this weekend out of my savage mkIIbtvs on a freezing cold range, after leaving the ammo in the car so it too was nice and chilled. When this stuff is cold, it's all over the place for me; looked like someone took a shotgun to the target. On a nice warm summer day, this stuff is great. Was surprised at the difference in performance.

Where in Southern Ont are you, perhaps you want to dispose and I can take off your hands.

Same experience as blsonne. Shoots great out of my BTVS and BV in the spring, summer and early fall. When it gets cold (-10 or less), it shoots all over the place. I find the heavy barrels work better with the Quiet, as my sons BLR doesn't shoot that great with it no matter the temperature.
