Here is some info I gathered just tinkering around. But with the subsonic ammo, all you could hear was the bolt, even when standing next to the gun. Now, I'm not saying it was loud enough to wake the baby from a nap, but, I could hear and recognize gunshots 1/2 mile away. We experimented with different ammo and discovered that it was the SS crack that I could hear in my yard. I called him and asked what he was shooting and he said he just got a new can for his 10/22 and was super disappointed because it was so loud. One day I heard my neighbor shooting what sounded like a 22. 22 bullet, you'd figure "how much crack could this little thing have?" but it's pretty amazing. So, that's what I learned with about $600 and a bit of screwing around. Norma Tac-22 is subsonic, shoots a bit better, just a bit louder than CCI, and is $15/500 more money, but, it will cycle the bolt on 10/22 and Tac Sol. Volquartsen Firefly works great with the CCI quiet, but, not recommended with standard velocity and it's $200 CCI Quiets are the quietest and cheapest but won't cycle. Sorry for a sort of rambling post, but, here's the bottom line: Again, the CCI would not cycle it while the Norma worked fine. I also tried both on a Glock 17 fitted with a Tactical Solutions TSG-22. The Norma runs about 1100fps while the CCI is only 700fps. It is also subsonic, and it will cycle the bolt of the standard 10/22. Volquartsen rep emailed me that they do not recommend standard velocity with their bolt.Īfter I bought a pair of FireFlys, I stumbled on Norma Tac-22 ammo. It works like a champ - as good as advertised. Then I found that Volquarten makes a FireFly bolt that is designed to work with the CCI Quiet ammo. The cheapest and easiest to get (at least for me) is CCI Quiet. I have been playing around with a bunch of different subsonic ammo. I have a couple of Ruger 10/22's, both suppressed. I wasn't sure exactly what forum to post this, since it covers bolts and ammo, and suppressors, but. I did not see similar info posted anywhere on Brian Enos forums. I stumbled on some info that I thought would be helpful, that I wanted to pass on.
