I just purchased a Browning Buckmark .22lr (love it) and I was wondering what powderless or subsonic ammo you guys recommend/suggest that can be used. I know you can use them in the rifles, but can you use it in the pistols?

Thanks

Powderless, you're going to have trouble finding one that'll cycle the action. Obviously with lever action rifles this isn't an issue as recoil isn't responsible for loading the next round, but that's going to be your main issue with the Browning.
I don't even know if anyone makes a long rifle round that's powderless. :confused: Aguilla might make one, now that I think about it, but I'm just certain that it wouldn't work in your semi-auto.

This is a long way of saying, "I can't help you." :) Sorry to ramble! Good luck in finding one that satisfies you.

This is a cartridge that contains no gunpowder. the little 20g. bullet is solely propelled by the powerful Eley priming mix. For this reason, it does not generate any significant pressure. Due to the lack of noise when fired, the .22 Colibri may be shot indoors, even in the living room, provided a proper back stop is available. The .22 Colibri may be used to eliminate pests such as rats. It may be fired in any .22 LR rifle or pistol, however, it will not cycle the slide of semi-automatic guns. Has a Solid Point Made of Lead Weight 20 grains.

Thanks gentlemen, I guess I will have to stick with traditional .22lr ammo.

Aguila makes a subsonic round, called "Super SE Extra" which they describe as "22 Largo Rigle Subsonico." It cycles my Buck Mark, is very quiet. The bullet is 38 gr hollow point.

Remington subsonic works just fine in many .22 auto pistols and rifles that I've tried. It is not a quiet round but it is subsonic.
