Er, "Noob" Q: The Savage MKII is the first .22 I've had in some years, and I'm not familiar with some of these new(?) loads.
What's the difference between "quiets" and "subs"? Yesterday I shot some CCI Quiets (720fps) and they were noticeably quieter than LRs
(which are noticeably quieter than my .308
). I was under the impression that these Quiets were "subsonic", so what gives?
Are they different types of rounds, or are those just the names the ammo mfgrs give to them?
Also, the lower velocity of these rounds must give them different ballistics from my LRs, so will I have to reset my 25 yard zero?
I'm preparing to take down some of those big grey furry-tailed rats who are terrorizing my little red squirrel friends.
thx
