Has anyone shot this, and what kind of accuracy did you get?
TIA.

It appears to be quieter, but I sort of wonder what the point is.

First reports I saw of that ammo was for use in Australia. One line of thought was that for someone in that country that already owned a .22 magnum, but didn't want to go through the troubles to get a second rifle in .22 LR, this ammo turned a .22 mag rifle into a .22 LR rifle. Kind of like what people can do with switch barrel guns with one serialized receiver, except this is done without a hardware change.
Of course, in the land of "common" and "widespread" suppressor use (aka the USA), buying a threaded barrel .22 mag rifle now might seem to make some sense. Thanks to this subsonic ammo, I mean.
But really, I'd guess this subsonic .22 mag ammo is simply like .22 LR Quiets for .22 mag shooters. Not too much different than .38 special fired in a .357 magnum carbine, I suppose too.
Seams like just about every hunting video I see from the UK, Australia, or New Zealand they have a suppressor. They are not controlled in other countries so you can just buy them over the counter like any other accessory, just like it should be here!
It would be a Little Badger. I have one in .22LR which is super-accurate. Thinking about getting one in .22 mag, but I would be shooting mostly grouse with it. As I hunt in wolf country, I'm just looking for a little more power than .22LR. I just got done getting a NEF in .22 Hornet shooting .22LR power level loads accurately, but the rifle is a little on the heavy side for a hiking/exploring/survival/small game rifle. Hope that made sense.

In my younger days I carried a 22 pistol for that purpose. Is it illegal in Mn, I never checked.You can shoot grouse with rifle where you are?
Check out the Stevens Favorite, from the re-run of about 2002. Rolling (or falling i dont remember) block action with octagon barrel. Its a tiny little thing.
I lied. Apparently you can take grouse with a .22In my younger days I carried a 22 pistol for that purpose. Is it illegal in Mn, I never checked.
What a stupid Idea that is ! Winchester just made another run of the Winchester WRF which is basically the same thing and fires in any .22 MRF. The .22WRF is a great small game round and I have a Win Model 90 and a Colt Target Police Positive model for it in use for 40 years for stuff under 40 pounds or so. There is some use of the new .22WRF in the NAA Mini revolvers I have heard.
