CCI Quiet 22 Long Rifle Ammunition 40 Grain Lead Round Nose - 960
The CCI Quiet .22 Long Rifle Ammunition, featuring a 40-grain lead round nose bullet, is designed for a quieter shooting experience without compromising performance. With a muzzle velocity of 710 feet per second and a muzzle energy of 45 foot-pounds, this subsonic ammunition generates only 1/4 the perceived noise level of standard .22 LR rounds, making it perfect for noise-sensitive environments like backyard plinking, youth training, and small game hunting.

Overview
The CCI Quiet .22 LR Ammunition is specifically engineered for shooters seeking a quieter shooting experience without sacrificing accuracy or reliability. Its subsonic design produces significantly reduced noise, making it an ideal choice for backyard plinking, youth training, and small game hunting in areas where sound reduction is a priority.
The ammunition excels when used with bolt-action and single-shot rifles or manual-action pistols, ensuring consistent and dependable performance. While safe for semi-automatic firearms, the reduced power level may not reliably cycle the action, making it better suited for manually operated firearms. Its low-noise profile also makes it a favorite among suppressor users, providing a near-silent shooting experience when paired with a rimfire suppressor.
History and Development
For over five decades, CCI has been synonymous with high-quality rimfire ammunition, consistently pushing the boundaries of innovation to meet the diverse needs of shooters. The development of the Quiet .22 LR line stemmed from the increasing demand for reduced-noise ammunition, particularly for recreational shooters, small-game hunters, and those practicing in urban or noise-sensitive environments.
CCI designed this line to provide an effective alternative to standard velocity .22 LR rounds, with noise reduction that doesn’t require a suppressor. The inclusion of subsonic velocities and a 40-grain lead round nose bullet ensures minimal noise and consistent performance, while maintaining accuracy and precision.
The Quiet .22 LR series demonstrates CCI’s commitment to versatility and innovation, offering shooters a reliable and cost-effective solution for noise-sensitive scenarios without compromising on quality or performance.
Common Questions and FAQs
- Can this ammunition cycle in semi-automatic firearms?
While it is safe to use in semi-automatic firearms, the reduced power of CCI Quiet .22 LR may not reliably cycle the action. It performs best in bolt-action or single-shot rifles and manual-action pistols.
- What makes CCI Quiet .22 LR quieter than standard .22 LR rounds?
This ammunition has a subsonic muzzle velocity of 710 feet per second, which eliminates the supersonic crack caused by breaking the sound barrier. Additionally, the reduced powder charge minimizes the report of the shot, making it approximately 1/4 as loud as standard velocity .22 LR ammunition.
- Is this ammunition compatible with suppressors?
Yes, CCI Quiet .22 LR is an excellent choice for use with rimfire suppressors. Its subsonic design complements suppressors, resulting in an ultra-quiet shooting experience.
- Can this ammunition be used for small game hunting?
Yes, the 40-grain lead round nose bullet provides effective terminal performance for small game hunting, especially in areas where minimal noise is crucial.
- How does this ammunition perform compared to standard .22 LR rounds?
While quieter and less powerful, CCI Quiet .22 LR delivers reliable accuracy and consistent performance at shorter ranges, making it ideal for plinking, training, and small game hunting. It is not designed for long-range shooting due to its lower velocity and energy.
- Is hearing protection necessary when using CCI Quiet .22 LR?
Hearing protection is generally recommended for all firearms use, but the significantly reduced noise of CCI Quiet .22 LR makes it more comfortable to shoot without hearing protection in open outdoor environments. However, always check local regulations and follow best safety practices.
