22 quiet doesn’t cycle a lot of autos. My Browning SA cycles but my 10/22s won’t unless I use a firefly bolt

 

I am looking at bolt action rifles, just wondering if I would have trouble with the lower power quiet loads in a longer barrel.

 

CCI Quiet has enough velocity to exit rifle-length barrels. The muzzle velocity is about 725 fps, so it is safe to use in any rifle-length barrel. I have used it in barrels as long as twenty-five inches with no issues.

 

I've had multiple squibs in my choked CZ UL 28.6" barrel from using 3-4 boxes of em. The squibs usually get hung up 3-4" from the muzzle. The 710fps Quiets are unreliable for my CZ but I knew what to listen for when I got my first squib trying to whack tree rats off the bird feeder. CCI's QC isn't so good anymore including Minimags IMO. YMMV ETC
IMA I bought my CZ UL specifically for urban pest control.

 

I have found my firefly and CCI quiets in a stock carbine to be a little disappointing. Quiet yes, cycle fine yes, accurate No! Not even field accurate. I’m going to change the set up and see what happens and am going to try cb longs and shorts too. I wanted a next to the door city gun too, but unless the varmints are in a herd I’ve got no chance. The crossman gas gun , with no rear sight might be my next choice

 

I have heard of problems in some of the CZ rifles with longer barrels using the lower power quiet ammo.

 

They haven't been accurate for me either so I bought a 22 can.

 

I have a.pre-E receiver BTV. It is amazingly accurate with most subsonic rounds. It really likes CCI SV. CCI Quiets look like a shotgun pattern at 25 yards. Some people seem to do ok with them. I dunno.

 

Assuming a bolt action, lever action, or some flavor of single shot - it won't have problems sticking in the barrel like you might have with colibris or super colibris. I have shot them out of all the barrel lengths you mention and the only difference is the noise. The long 28" barrels are *really* quiet. I find that they are quietest in a 24" + barrel - but they are pretty quiet in everything.

My CZ's don't really shoot them particularly accurately. The Marlins, Savages, and Winchesters have no trouble with them - though they aren't match ammo....

 

I've run CCI quiets through a 28" encore barrel with no issues.

 

Further Quiets-710fps elucidation; I had a good lot# of Quiets-710s that shot mostly 3/4"-1/2" @ 25 yds.. I've had others with some that shot high/louder, and some not even reaching the target, all in the same lot#. Between the primer and such a small amount of powder any variation in the amounts, crimp and whatnot is magnified compared to decent regular 22 subsonic ammo IME. Your mileage WILL VARY.

 

Ime, you can have CB velo's and you can have accuracy, they dont seem to be in the same ammo.
ymmv

 

Quiets are like any other rimefire ammo, some guns love them and some hate them.
I got lucky the only gun I tried them in My Browning A-Bolt .22LR loves them, Sighted in at 50 yards I've made head shots on squirrels out to 45 yards and killed Chipmunks as close as 10'.

 

CCI has increased the velocity to 835fps. Guess that will solve the problems.

 

Here it is but its rn. https://www.cci-ammunition.com/products/detail.aspx?use=5&loadNo=975CC However CCI still shows Quiets Segmented @ 710 fps in production.

 

Anyone here shoot the new 835 FPS quiets?? Did the report from the muzzle increase with the new velocity. Will they cycle a 1-/22 with a light bolt spring?

 

I'm 3 for 3 on grey squirrels so far with my FVSR shooting CCI Supressorss. One thru the neck a d head shots. A little more noise than a Quiet, but not much.

 

I shoot them out of 24.5 barrel and they are bad medicine on thin skinned critters out to 30m for me. After that, they turn into bird shot like patterns.
I shoot them as a single shot in my canned 10/22 LVT...talk about ninja like sound, but wont cycle(expected) even with a KIDD -10% spring.
