Oooh, nice.🧐 I’ll add that to my list of ammo to try. 👍🏻

 

I just bought some sub-sonics at 1050fps to try but haven't made it to the range yet. Hoping they would do good. Your group is nice at 25yds and is a good start.
LOL! I think they'll make it to 50yds without skipping the ground. Keep us posted.

 

I wonder what the drop is on a 710 fps round. Either way, impressive results for CCI ammo IMO.

 

My experience with the Quiets is the groups open up dramatically as the distance increases. Minute of coffee cup at 50 yds and minute of wash tub at 100 yds. YMMV.

Oh I'm so using that in the future 😆
Minute of Wash Tub had me rolling

 

Google searched and the number one result was this at Shooters Calculator:

Lol good thing I didn't try it on the 100 yard range

 

The Quiet-22's (CCI part number 960) at 710fps drop pretty fast at any significant distance. I've found that the Quiet-22 Semi-Auto's (CCI part number 975cc) 835fps are a little less prone to so much drop. I shoot them suppressed and there's very little difference noise wise. Unfortunately the "semi-autos" are a bit harder to find. Run either thru a Waltz die for the hollow pointing and they make awesome squirrel rounds and all you hear is the firing pin and the splat of squirrel

 

I have found a 35yd zero to work best for me: +1/2" @ 25y, 0 @ 35y, -2/2.5" @ 50yd.

I have a decent routine for my 2-7x Leupold; at 7x, the 50y POI is at the lower duplex point.
I have used that dope for successfully making longer shots on grouse, BTW.

For a 50yd zero, POI @ 25y is +1.5"; certainly excessive so not very practical IMO.

 

I haven’t shot a group with CCI Quiet .22 quite as good as yours, but they are clustering 3 and 4 bullets at 25 yds in my Savage Mk II and Winchester 69A. The Sub-Sonics seem to do the same with a flyer opening things up with every 5 shots. They definitely show promise though, and are way more accurate than my Remington CeeBee’s.
Shot a bunch of Eley and CCI Sub-Sonic today followed by Quiet .22. Will do some testing with just Quiet .22 tomorrow, and will share results and get back with you!

On a good day I can get a 5 shot group of 3/4" with my Remington 541s at 50 yards. I have tried 5 or 6 other rifles and the groups are all over 1 1/2" at 50 yards.
If I remember correctly, the drop between 25 and 50 yards was a little over 3 inches.

 

When I bought my last handgun, right at the beginning of Covid, I picked up two boxes of CCI Quiets to try out of my new Heritage. Testing them at the local indoor range it was amazing. I could hardly hear the report. These would be perfect for small game in an urban area.

 

They were meant for short range. Velocity is too low for long distance.

 

When you get a flyer you'll really notice it IMEs. That said I've taken fox and raccoons with em @ 20yds.

 

I recently bought ten 50-round boxes of CCI-SV at Wal Mart,,,
When I got home I found that I had seven boxes of CCI-SV and three boxes of CCI-Quiet.

I understand the mistake made by the ammo counter kid,,,
The boxes are almost identical in their packaging.

Next day I went back to Wal Mart with the paper receipt,,,
Showing I had paid for ten boxes of CCI-SV.

Wal Mart has a strict policy of no ammo returns or exchanges,,,
Even though I asked the kid behind the counter for SV,,,
And my receipt showed I paid for ten boxes of SV,,,
They still wouldn't swap them out for me,,,
Even though they are the same price.

I do almost all my rifle shooting at 100 yards,,,
I guess I'll just use this Quiet stuff,,,
With my revolvers at 15 yards.

Plinking is plinking I always say,,,
I wonder if this stuff will cycle my Bersa Thunder 22?

I had my buddy put 5 rounds through his Ultra Lux. As quiet as it'll get without a suppressor.

This experience has me interested in better ammo though, so I've got a brick of Wolf Match Extra on the way. Funny how the cheap CCI still ends up costing me more money...

So as you know for your bud's sake, I've had Quiets squibs in my UL. One has to really pay attention to the report, or lack of it.

 

Just finished shooting multiple groups with CCI Quiet .22 in my Savage MkII, and Winchester 69A. The Winchester’s barrel is well worn from me cleaning it with a three piece jointed rod as a kid, but she can still shoot a cluster forming one hole, as can my Savage MkII with Eley Target. Here’s my groups from this morning shooting from my living room (70 degrees inside, -30 outside)at a target outside at 25 yds:

Air density difference between inside and outside may have had some effect on the called flyers (?), but I’ve experienced the flyers before with this ammo. Also, I had to utilize an aiming point 1 1/2 inches above the target to compensate for increased drop over Standard Vel .22 LR. I aimed at the nail holding the post-it notes with the Winchester, and used the second dot in my Bushnell AR22 scope. Yesterday, I shot these groups from my shooting set up from the house with Eley Target, so you can get some idea of what both rifles are capable of if I do my part.

I wouldn’t be surprised if your CZ controls the flyers a little better. I think they drop too much at 25 yds for use beyond that range for my purposes (pest squirrels chewing into my cabin). My friend has a CZ Lux also, and I have not been able to beat his groups with my Winchester even when we’ve switched rifles, and it generally come down to a flyer that just opens the overall group a bullet width (old barrel?), but I would imagine them being very useful in the CZ’s.
That’s my results for what they are worth—good day, and good shooting!

Here's another hypothesis. Those little low-power Quiet rounds got all warm and toasty in your cabin, then when kicked outside into that -30F at 710 fps, they acted like pets and said, "Hell no! We're not going out there," and tried to get back inside again. Hence the less than stellar groups.

I've been on a subsonic kick for the last few months. For the last few years in my 10/22, I've used mostly Mini-mags and even some Velocitors. But those were the days before I got serious with sights; I was mostly using Tech Sights back then, and happy to get 1.5" at 25.

But since my eyes insisted that I get serious and add better sights -- first a red dot, then a progression of a couple of scopes to my current Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32, I've been playing around now (until winter closed the ATV trail to my shooting area*) with quasi-precision shooting. (* I've got 50 wooded acres out my apartment windows, and even got some targets set up at 25, 45 and 60 yards for sighting practice during winter, but my neighbors would call the cops if I did any target shooting from there. )

I've been working (and will continue in spring after ice out and mud season) with CCI SV, Subsonics, and Quiet Semi-Auto (SAQ in my notes; 835 fps). I also have a couple of boxes of Aguila Subsonics to try out; haven't yet at all.

I also bought some CCI Quiets, but mostly tried them in a Mark IV 22/45 (that I named Dredth, vs Dearth which is my 10/22 project; the 22/45 is on the way out of my collection now -- I've realized I'm just a rifle guy when it comes to .22LR).

I haven't yet tried Quiets in the 10/22, but plan to. So this is interesting reading, and the results are about what I would have expected in terms of shorter range accuracy and big drop after 50.

Nothing much to report yet from the 10/22 (winter hit before I got a chance to try out the Vortex).

But I can say that the 22/45 MUCH preferred the SAQ. I mean by a long ways. These are 3" stick on targets on cardboard. These are all 9 shot groups at 10 and 15 yards using a Swampfox Kingslayer reflex red dot, and using a rest. The holes circled with blue sharpie are just the peg holes for holding the targets.

I know I tried the plain Quiets in the pistol, but for some reason, I didn't keep the target results. I think I decided it was just too much trouble racking the pistol after every shot, so bumped up to SAQ. I'll still try the Quiets in my 10/22 next season.

 

When I purchased a pre-‘74 Leupold target scope the other day, my dealer buddy gave me these 2 boxes of .22. Wife gets the Lapua Pistol King, but I have been using the SK subsonic. Got to say very impressed through my Anschutz Match 64 and Mauser ES340B which both have long barrels and these clear no issue. I always have squibs with CCI Quiet in my long barrelled .22s

 

When I worked at Shapel’s Gun Shop in Boise Idaho, we saw some stuck Aguila Colibri in a couple rifles that had old pitted barrels—they just barely had enough propellant to clear the barrel that was clean and shiny, so I avoided them for the most part. Never had this problem with Remington CB’s, or CCI Quiet, or CB’s, but you have to know your individual rifle. For low report, accuracy, and game killing ability, I’m pretty happy with the CCI Sub-Sonics.

 

Good shooting OP!

I like CCI quiets for pest control. I can crack the back door and whack the offending critter without anyone knowing... Makes me feel like an assassin.

They make a lovely Whop sound when they hit squirrel meat soundly.

 

The truth be told, CB’s may have killed more critters over the century than LR ammo!

 

True that. When i was in my teens I killed more black birds and squirrels than polio with CB caps. Oh man I miss those days, haha!

 

top right was warm -up sight in
CCI Quite Auto, three guns Marlin XT-22, Marlin model 60, 10/22
25 yards inside off rest

CCI Quiet are great inside of 50 yards because they are low power and run out of gas faster then full power 22's
the quiet are 710 fps and the quiet auto are 835 fps
the slowest of all subsonic 22's

 

I went to the local gun store today, found their "target" 22 counter and just said I'll take one box of each.

I do love science, even if the science is "why are you shooting this ammo, stop it".

 

That’s a great way to do it. Years ago my wife found several bricks of RWS and Eley Target at a garage sale, and she bought all if it for me! I’d never tried Match anything before, and my expectations have not been the same since—I’m sure you’ll find a couple brands that will give you groups like your Quiet .22, but with one group after another!

 

That is the luck of the '22 ammo lottery', the ones with the flyers are pretty much the norm, as proven by your bench groups.
Btw, 'called flyers' are when you know You messed up and it went off when you pulled off the poa and you know (could call) the shot went, say, high-left. They are not the fault of ammo.
When they are random and you were on target they are just 'flyers' likely because of ammo.

 

It'll be nice to have them. I bought an MDT XRS and a barreled 457 MTR action today so January I'll be waiting for a good day to test out all the ammo.

 

I had to search "MDT XRS" and "457 MTR".

Wow. Impressive stuff.

The more I hang out on this forum, the more I come to understand that I'm playing the minor leagues (or is it junior leagues?) when it comes to rimfire rifles.
