do these have powder in them or like the aguila ones with in powder?? now those are as quite or more so than an air gun
Aguila used to make (and HOPEFULLY still does) the 'Colibri' round, and a 'Super Colibri.' Altho I've never used either ..... alledgedly the reg Colibri has no powder and relies on the "primer" only for propellent at @375fps MV, and the Super Colibris rate @500fps MV, both with a 20 grain cone shaped bullet.
I too am anxious to see how this new CCI 'invention' is going to work and according to data MidwayUSA, this Quiet-22 is supposed to propel a standard 40grn RN bullet at 710fps MV for approx 45 foot pounds of ME.
The Remington CBEE is also of interest, as a possible replacement for CCI CB Shorts and Longs (without their chamber-slop and not always reliable accuracy).
QUESTION: what would be better? If the Quiet-22 was equally accurate to the Remington CBee 22?
The Quiet-22 launches its 40grn RN bullet at 710fps for 45fpe and .....
the CBee 22 launches its 33grn HP bullet at 740fps for 40fps.
IS THE DIFFERENCE going to be worth worrying about?
I'll settle on the one thats most accurate of course, despite that reports are the CBee with its hollow point (Yellow Jacket bullet) is a reliable mushrooming bullet!
However this would be a departure, since we almost NEVER buy Remington .22's at my house! comments?
I did try some CBee's about a month ago (I forgot to add). fired 10 of em from a 16inch 10/22 that fed easily (manually). Incredibly quiet even from that short tube!!
It takes more powder to get the bullet going 1124 fps than it does 740 fps. That additional powder is leaving the barrel at higher pressure, and it is the sound that is made by that hot expanding gas that produces the report, not the sound of the bullet.
By using a small charge of very fast burning powder, or no powder at all, the report is greatly reduced.
just got done trying the new CCI quite 22 LR out of 2 Ruger 10-22's, one with the regular bolt and the other with a 22 short bolt. The regular bolt 10-22 didnt cycle the bolt, but the 10-22 with the 22 short bolt in it cycled just like a 10-22 on hi velocity, 25 rounds down range in 4 seconds without a jam. Accurary out at 50 yards ran 1/2" and did get to pop a squirrel with it and they dropped him on a dime but it was a head shot. NOTE I think the bolt running was louder than the rounds going off
I'm glad to see this thread, A guy at the last gunshow wanted $8 a box for .22 cb's. The original sticker said $1.80 a box.

I bought a case of these as I figured once everyone see how good they work they will go up in price, also if they werent any good I would sell off in box or brick price for everyone to try out, didnt try in my 40x's, 52's or sako's and dont think I will since they will cycle through my 10-22 short bolt gun
