Sub Sonic .22lr muzzle velocity

[tyler500e]

Does anyone know what the muzzle velocity of Aguila SSS Sniper Subsonic .22 ammo is? Is this good ammunition to put through a suppressor on a 10/22? It doesn't say the velocity on the box, and their website is down. I'm mostly curious b/c it is only sold in bulk here at cabelas and im not sure if i will like it as much as the Remington .22 Subsonic ammo..

It is reported that most rifles will not stabilize the heavy bullet in the standard 1in16 twists. Buy a box and try it.

Muzzle Velocity:950 fps
Muzzle Energy:120 ft lbs

I would try this without the suppressor first. If it tumbles coming out the muzzle, you risk baffle strikes and damage to your suppressor.

Actually, I'd get a 1:9 barrel for the 10/22 if you want to shoot SSS. I've never heard of anyone being able to stabilize SSS rounds in a stock 10/22.

I would also try Aguila's regular 40gr subsonic rounds. They are far superior to Remington's. They are my regular practice ammunition.

They can be found here, cheaply:
