These seem to be like the cb longs except they have 40 grain lead bullets. Velocity is 710 fps. Anybody use these yet? | ||

From the stand point of report I can detect no difference. The Quiet feeds better in my rifle than the CB Longs. I like the idea of a 40 grain bullet vs a 29 grain. Accuracy is better with the Q .22 LR. If they will cycle in a Ruger 10/22 I would consider buying a Urban Rifle 29" barrel.My RWS .177 pellet gun produces more noise than this ammo. Yackman | |||

Checkout RimfireCentral, they have alot of info regarding this round. As a kid I used to pull the bullets of ordinary 22lr HV ammo with a pair of pliez and dump the charge in my hand. I would take a pinch of this powder and put it back in the case and somehow manipulate the mangled bullet back in sometimes up side down and with a pen knife or small file removed the excess lead so it would fit the chamber. I doubt these rounds produced more than 300fps but they sure as hell killed many Rock Pigeon in my yard at very close range and usually completely penetrated the bird. The neighbours never knew a thing!  I cant wait to get a few bricks of the new CCI stuff coz I think they would be ideal for shooting hare at night. | |||

Nobody seems to have any, will have to go somewhere else to find them... TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right. Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906) | |||

I got two boxes from Midway, they just came today. Maybe I'll get to try them out in the next week or so. TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right. Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906) | |||

How much slower or how do they compare to the CCI subsonic load? I've shot a ton of the subsonics.  Aut vincere aut mori | |||

z1r, they are about 350 fps slower than your standard velocity/subsonic stuff. I've tried them in both pistols and rifles. They say that you don't need ear protection when using these and that they are as quiet as a springer pellet gun. This may be true in rifle length barrels, but I still would use ear protection when firing these in a pistol. Accuracy? Sure nothing to write home about, but adequate for what they were designed for. Some of my guns liked these..... and some not so much. They seemed to shoot best in my micro-grooved old Marlin 39A. Do these bullets prefer the micro-groove rifling? Maybe. Seems so in my testing. Don't even think that they'll function reliably in any semi-auto. My Ruger MK II would not even extract the casing and my Ruger 10-22 stove piped every shot. I've always liked the CCI CB Longs for certain applications. I've found that the CCI Quiet have only a very slight advantage (if any) over the CCI CB Longs in terms of accuracy, but they shoot at the same sound level and carry more weight/smack. I like 'em..... and I'll be getting more of 'em.  | |||

They are quiet and about as accurate at the CCI Standard Velocity load, but they do not produce enough gas to cycle my .22/45 Lite or one of my 10/22s, suppressed or unsuppressed. George  | |||

Thanks. The CCI sub sonic loads have been extremely accurate and work magic on turtles while being quite enough not to upset the neighbors. I thought something a little quiter would be even better but they'd have to have accuracy on par with the Sub-sonics to be of any use. Turtle heads are small. Aut vincere aut mori | |||

z1r, give these CCI Quiets a try. They may prove ideal for your situation. I take back my earlier remark about them favoring micro-groove rifling over conventional rifling. I tried these in my Savage 24 this AM and it shoots them as well as my Marlin 39A. I'm using 3/4" black square pasters as my POA. At 10yds. both of these rifles are cloverleaf capable at this range (iron sights/off hand). They group under 1" center to center at 25 yds. in these two rifles. I am like you. It's very good to keep a low profile and stay "neighbor friendly". | |||

Update: I had two failure to fires out of a 50 round box of CCI Quiets today. Both solid striker hits. Fired when I put them through my Ruger MK II a second time. Just an FYI. LOT E01T12 | |||

My brother has been playing with a bunch of these. He so far has 2 of them stick in the 27 inch barrel of his CZ rifle. He has sent several hundred back to CCI and is waiting their reply. | |||

nothing new for 22rf ammo. | |||

It's really strange because the two misfires were from the same box. I've gone through 9 other boxes from the same lot without a hitch. The sticking bullets in the 27" barrel may be caused by one or more factors. Standard .22LR ammo reaches max velocity out of about 18" barrels. They actually lose velocity out of longer barrels due to the powder burn rate. I suspect that CCI may also use a faster burning powder in the Quiets than normal .22LRs to minimize muzzle report. I haven't chronographed the Quiets yet. It might be interesting to see velocity changes vs. barrel length. I would also like to see the SD of the Quiets. | |||

I did a quick chrono test of the CCI Quiet today in a 24" Marlin 39A. Just 10 shots. Most shots were pretty close to the advertised 710 fps. But one of the 10 shots registered 563 fps! This slow round was noticeably quieter than the rest. This round was also from the same lot where I experienced two misfires on the first hammer strike from a Ruger Mk II that NEVER has hickups. I still really like the CCI Quiets and will continue to shoot them, but I hope CCI tightens quality control. | |||

I shot a few at a range, they seemed a little more accurate than a CB long. Noise level seemed similar. I dunno. TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right. Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906) | |||

I potted two small gray squirrels today with these CCI Quiets. Two head shots and one clean miss (my fault) 19 and 22 yards with my old trusty early 60's iron sighted Marlin 39A. | |||
