That said, it runs a few bucks more per box than American Eagle’s standard ( red box) 147 grain rounds which, as far as I can tell, is just as quiet and has worked great for me in the past. The ammo fed, fired, and ejected (with proper authority) every time. Despite a bit of worry that lighter powder charges here might lead to cycling issues, I experienced none. In fact, American Eagle’s standard 124 gr loads run right around the speed of sound and would be reliably supersonic out of my CZ SP-01 (especially w/ the suppressor, which adds about 2% to the velocity). Subsonic nine is usually the domain of 147 grain pills. It’s interesting to see a 124 grain bullet in a 9mm subsonic offering. The remaining question is how cleanly this stuff actually burns compared to other offerings, and how much you may be willing to pay for that. 45, it’s at least partially a marketing ploy as standard. Less lead fouling, residue, and vapor.Ī couple of weeks ago Jim Barrett reviewed the. Total metal jacket (TMJ) bullets in centerfire and fully copper plated in rimfire.Federal did say that all of these loadings are using unique propellant blends. 22 has been reliably subsonic from a pistol for me, but all of it was supersonic from a rifle. 22 LR is supposed to remain subsonic even out of a 16″ barrel. I kid you not, it’s the difference between sounding like a staple gun and sending a loud sonic boom whip crack noise echoing along the bullet’s path as it flies downrange. When you have a good, silenced setup, it just ruins everything. The crack made by a bullet breaking the sound barrier is actually really loud. #.22lr subsonic rounds and suppressor full#22, with fingers crossed that it would actually run (I’m also the proud owner of a full brick of Aguila SSS, Sniper Subsonic, that my bolt gun will have to enjoy all on its own), and a box of the 124 grain 9mm.īefore we get to the shooting results, let’s recap the selling points of this ammunition: 22 LR in and a handful of the other calibers as well. My LGS actually got a ridiculous amount of the.
