    I have a collection of lever 22s,, I like to shoot as quiet as possible, while still remaining accurate.
    Down around the 700FPS I see a lot of inconsistency, up at 900+ I get great consistency but the noise is getting up there. I want to try all the different ammo I can in the 800-900 range.



    That would be a great reference when shopping for a suppressed gun.

    800-900 fps from a rifle ?

    That's a pretty narrow and specialized niche. The only thing that springs to mind is CCI Quiet . Or did I misinterpret , and you're looking for 800-900 from pistol ?

    I could get on board with that...the safety margin might be enough. Almost every type of sub-sonic I have shot through my 14" barrel will produce an occasional supersonic crack. Embarrassing...to say the least.

    CCI Quiet is spec'd at 710 FPS.

    CCI Suppressor is spec'd at 970 FPS.

    CCI Quiet is stupid quiet out of a bolt rifle with a suppressor. Click of the striker, and THUNK of the bullet hitting the backstop.

    Rifle,
    I have tried Rem LR Ceebee @ 710fps
    CCI Queits, CCI suprresor, RWS subs, Rem Subs
    The stuff at ~700 fps has a lot off inconsistency, the stuff up at 900-1000 fps is considerably louder,,
    Thinking ~800 fps may be sweet spot.
    CCI Quiet Semi Auto is in this range,,, but nowhere to be found

    CCI came out with a copper/polymer blended bullet round called the Copper 22. It's only a 21 grain bullet weight, but it is published at a muzzle velocity of 1850 fps. I myself have never shot any of it.



    You’re not missing much if you’re looking to shoot tiny holes in paper. At 100 yards there’s roughly a 3 foot dispersion out of my 10/22 judging from the impact splashes on the berm. At 50 yards it was on the high side of about 6”. I can get my calipers out later, but the same rifle shot 5 rounds of decent ammo at what looked like near 0.5” at 50 yards. It was funny to shoot though. Pretty nice crack and louder impact against the target backing.

    Handy ballistics charts for most common LR and WMR rounds.
    Found it handy when zeroing my 10/22.
