Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Quiet-22

Roger, I like the fact that 1) they are the right length for the chamber and 2) less expensive than CB longs and shorts.

Matter of fact, they shot scary flat from 25 yeard to 50 yards so I need to experiment more on short range accuracy or find a chronagraph to verify speed.


And that has what to do with CCI Quiet-22?...Steelie

Was going to say other possible options.

Digital Dan...The Remington CBee's get good reviews over at RFC and they were pretty inaccurate in my rifles. For that matter several folks over at RFC think Remington rimfire ammo is great? Could be I got a bad lot? or maybe remington cleaned up it rimfire ammo act with the more recent CBee's?

Humdinger, not many 22's will (with a standard twist) shoot the 60 grain Aguila's. One of my rifles shot them great, cleaned it and next thing I know they are tumbling at 25 yards.

The Rem. CBee's are priced ridiculously high! Haven't seen CCI's Quiet .22 Round yet, Been hoping there would be a large HP, but more than likely just a round nose!

Thanks for the headsup. The CB's are awesome, but don't feed great in my 44USD. Hope these are a little better.

Both VERY GOOD improvements. One thing that helps it fill up the chamber is a full-size 40 grain boolit! If that 40grn bullet launches at the same velocity the CCI CB's, that will already guarantee an increase in terminal peorpormance too!

I'll have to look at these again because the LR length and 40 grain bullet will help with terminal performance.

Oh - and thanks Jerry on warning me about tumble on the 60 grainers. Maybe the old mossberg hast a fast twist or my lack of cleaning makes it shoot them well. This mossberg is rough and proper storage should be just inside the barn door and not my safe...

I wish i could find these in stock locally.

What type of accuracy is everyone getting?

The CB short and CB longs are the same load in different cases? The CBs out of my bolt Winchester pass the backyard test here in suburbia, but the Collbri are quieter. I believe the Collbri are primer charged only, but they are working on the annoying crow problem.

I think I'll have to give this new quiet ammo a look.

Never fiddled with the Rem. version but rimfires tend to be picky about their fodder. I think it has a lot to do with bullet design, that meaning a normal roundnose form will engage the rifling more quickly than a truncated HP and perhaps perform better. Most of my .22s have never met a CCI round they wouldn't shoot reasonably well, and some purely dote on their stuff. The T/C carbine I shoot shorts with lightly engraves the bullet when a round is chambered and that is probably why it shoots CB shorts so well.

Received them the other day, look just like any other RN 22LR. I'll run them soon.

I havent come across that loading though I do shoot a lot of CCI subsonics[1060] fps. Now suppressed that would be a fine round.
Will buy some when I see them. Thanks for the heads up.

Steelie,

Who had them & how much...I cannot find them locally!

Real curious as to how they shoot?

Jerry

Real quiet with sub-sonic ammo.

Midway has them at $2.69/50. I ordered a brick.

Skimmed this so may have missed it already if said.

How do these compare to CB's in decibel levels?


Wish Federal would make CB's again. Down to my last two, quieter than CCI, and accurate enough within intended range.

Cheaper than Dirt is where I ordered them. $2.42 per 50 so I order 20 and they came in two bricks.

Scott ... get any trigger time with them yet???

I'm kinda curious too, but if I see some I'm going to go ahead and get them anyway.

Work, work, work, but I have a few days off next week and will be running them.

In handgun and rifle.

Hurry up. I'm sick of waiting.
