can you get a low velocity ammo for a rimfire

need to do some shooting around farmyard

im useing winchester super X and my bruno loves them

but dont want to put one through the barn

Any subsonic stuff "but dont want to put one through the barn" . A subsonic round would go through a 1" or more of wood no problem.

Alway think safety before you take the shot

I'm nor sure what you want to know????

just wanterd to no if there is a diffrent ammo to use on short range shoots

had my FAC for over 10 years and been on open ticket for last 6

mostly shoot bigger vermin out in the field now all about safe shots and stuff

but not about different ammo used same for 10years

CCI sell CB long ammo in .22 cal, i think they are about 30 ft/lb at the muzzle but im not sure.

Great loads for short distance shooting with hardly any noise at all with a silencer.

Hope this is of help.

22LR subsonic is use with a suppressor mainly. You do get 22 short but I think that its for pistol only. As for bullet weight and powder weight you dont have the same choice with 22lr as with other calibers and you cant home load them.

I use Winchester Subs 40grain bullet, they work well in my Brno up to about 90m mark.

 

Sorry mate if I offended

[Finkley 1]

What are you shooting at mate?

 

Isn't there a 22lr 'rat' or 'bird' shot. Same brass but a plastic bubble on the front containing shot? I don't know for sure if they're available in the UK, but I have defo seen a photo of them on Wikipedia.

 

Probably not very good for rabbits though. Also, presumably it can't be too good for the rifling, but again, I don't know.

 

Cheers,

As M the M says CCI CB Long,

710 ft per sec

32 ft/Ilb

29 gr bullet

 

Could still go through the barn though.
