CCI Quiet Semi-Auto accuracy and reliability in 10/22?

I have used both the standard and semi-auto Quiet. Semi-auto does cycle my 1022. I have no problem with it and rather like the segmented version which is not available in the semi-auto Quiet. It is not match grade ammo but out to 50 yards it is fine for the purpose.

I found the Semis to cycle my long barrel marlin 70 and my 597s reliably, shot decently as well. would sometimes cycle my buckmark if i remember correctly. Drop is significant at 50yds compared to even standard V rounds
 
In both my "Hawthorn Warrior" (Mossberg Bolt Action) and Little Badger that stuff is crazy-amazing accurate. Also in my old single shot bolt action "Boy's Rifles". Real accurate in my revolvers. Probably not the best ammo for the 10/22 for obvious reasons.

Beyond "match grade" in my Mossberg bolt gun. I can hang some 550 cord from a tree branch, get back, and make that cord jump and wiggle all day. Out of it's 24" barrel, it makes about the same noise as a good .22 air rifle.

Maybe set the 10/22's aside and use a good bolt or single shot. The ammo it's self is "match grade". If it don't shoot well, it's not the ammo.

My bolt guns wernt overly fond of the stuff, but my 597 interestingly enough was. Best groups ran 1-1.25" at 50yds with more vertical than horizontal dispersion. I never found anything that actually shot smaller in that gun.

I have a picture of the groups from my 802 or the 597 somewhere.
 
Sounds like that luck of the draw, depending on what firearm you draw! But I think that if it can be extremely accurate in one rifle, then if it's not in another it is not the ammo, but the rifle. The rifle just plain don't take a cotton to them Quiets! My rifles sure do.

Dug up the target....this has to be my 802...my 597s didn't shoot 1/2" groups with mini-mags.

The quiets hold about the same horizontal spread here as well, i remembered them being wider but i was wrong.

And I agree, some guns like certain ammo some don't.
 
I have 3 bricks of it. I was kind of disappointed that its really not much quieter than CCI standard in my pistols. It cycles my buckmark fine. Its not quite 100% in my 10-22 but still usable. I have never sat down to test accuracy from the bench but standing shooting steel with iron sights I can't tell of any difference in accuracy compared to anything else.
 
I have only shot the early first version of Quiets. I tried them in three rifles that are pretty accurate including one of my 10/22's with a Green Mountain barrel. Of course I had to cycle the action by hand for each shot with the 10/22. Accuracy wasn't just poor, it was terrible in all three. Don't know about the semi-auto stuff and have no intention of learning. I use ear protection with any caliber so have no need for the under powered ammo.
