CCI Suppressor Max .22lr

Thanks for taking the time to weigh in.

I’m running a VQ Summit with a TacSol SBX barrel (10" + 6" for shroud) and a TacSol Axiom suppressor. My go-to ammo has been CCI Quiet Segmented HPs for taking care of tree rats.

I love the rifle, but I just can’t get the accuracy I want from the CCI Quiet Segmented HPs, even after plenty of tinkering. Inside 25 yards, it’s passable—but beyond that, things get hairy.

I’m considering trying the new CCI Suppressor Max .22LR (also segmented HPs) and hoping that the heavier bullet and higher velocity might tighten things up a bit.

There’s not much real-world feedback out there yet—anyone have experience with this new ammo?

anything cci quiet gets out of wack past 25-30 yards. CCI SV and subsonic HP will work much better. Be aware, your POI will change from the quiets. I wouldn't think that segmented is a must for squirrels. The 45gr suppressor is not known to be quite as accurate as the 40 grain stuff I just mentioned. I know you asked about something else, but I have no experience with it yet so I'm throwing other options out there that I do have experience with.

Just talking with a friend yesterday who said his FV-SR was shooting the Segmented Quiets just great, taking out nuisance Squirrels and even a couple of depredation Deer with lung shots. I did a double take on the Deer but this guy just doesn't lie or exaggerate. Guess they've some usefulness in some cases.

A very long time ago. I use to shoot Remington CB's out of my Savage BV. They were accurate as all get out under 25 yards. So I put a hurting on the squirrels in the back yard shooting right out of the kitchen window(allegedly). They shot quieter than a pellet gun. Living in the city limits, I sure did get away with a lot😁

I am not familiar with this offering, but I have a brick of Gemtech Silencer Subsonic 42gr rated at 1020fps (www.gem-tech.com). It claims Boise/Eagle ID as its home.

My Gemtech ammo tested:

1061fps through my 20.9" CZ455 Varmint,
1006fps through my 24.8" CZ455 Training Rifle,
981fps through my 28.7" CZ455 UltraLux.

Extreme Spreads were 60~80fps with Standard Deviation 14~18fps.
Groups were disappointing: 3.4~3.7 MOA at various distances.
