Ruger 10/22 Suppressed, Supersonic vs Subsonic Ammunition.

Ruger 10/22 FS.
Gemtech G5 Silencer.

First five rounds are from a bulk pack of .22lr, most likely around 1200fps. Last five rounds are CCI CB Long. Specs on the ammo case are "Sub-Sonic Low Noise, 29gr, 710FPS. They are obviously not cycling the action of my rifle. I'm still on the hunt for a 40gr bullet pushing 950 or so FPS, I think that will cycle the action while staying subsonic, and provide a significantly harder hitting round.

In the UK we use Eley. (I use Eley Club, which is cheap). It's subsonic, cheap, accurate, 40 grain and used by most of the Olympic shooters - and it cycles a 10/22 no problem.

I think Remington sell it in the US under the name 'Remington Eley'

@gpfwestie - Thanks for the info! Since filming this video I have switched to a new barrel and started using the Aguila SSS 60gr rounds. The new barrel thankfully shoots the 40gr rounds as well. My favorite for 40gr subsonic is the CCI Standard Velocity green tag stuff. I'll have to try the Remington sometime!

Aguila makes a subsonic 60 grain bullet, I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure it will cycle.
