1000 Rounds of 40gr LHP .22 LR Ammo by CCI Sub-Sonic

It seems counterintuitive at first. Shouldn’t a 22 LR cartridge be less accurate when it is subsonic, because its bullet follows a droopier trajectory that complicates aiming? Not at all! That would assume the physical phenomenon known as “transonic destabilization” doesn’t exist. And it totally does!

This rimfire ammo (which is made by one of the biggest names in American rimfire ammo) is bona fide subsonic. Its bullet won’t wobble upon transitioning to subsonic velocity because it was never supersonic in the first place. That helps the bullet stick to precisely the trajectory you intend it to stick to!

This ammo is more quiet than any supersonic alternative. It also doesn’t hit its target as hard. But thanks to its lead hollow point projectiles – which expand wide without accompanying fragmentation – it still does something very deadly to small game after impact. And it all comes packaged in pretty clear plastic boxes. If that’s not a bonus, then we have no idea what is!
