I've seen reference to CCI "CB Longs" and subsonic .22 LR on this forum, but this is the first time that I've seen:
CCI® Quiet-22™ .22 Long Rifle
It's a 40 grain load reportly exiting a rifle at 710fps
Maybe it's just marketing, but the "Quiet" got me so I picked up a box at Wal-Mart today. I typically use the CB shorts in my Ruger Single Six when I shoot in the back yard in my neighborhood (for various reasons, typically for varmints or otherwise putting down small critters). The CB shorts to me sound like a screen door slamming or a very small firework (very small).
This evening I put in 4 CBs and 1 Quiet-22 in my revolver. No hearing protection (honestly, none needed). No problems. I actually couldn't tell the difference between the CBs and the "Quiet's).
I still like my CBs cause there's no way I'll accidently try to use them in a semi-auto.
If you're needing a quiet load in maybe a bolt action .22 these might be something you'd want on hand.
