+1 on CB s/l. Very quite out of a rifle and not too bad out of a handgun. No need for ear protection out of rifle. Will not cycle a semi auto but great for pest control.

CCI Quiet-22 long rifle, five shots @ 50 yards. Not as accurate as the best standard velocity ammo but adequate. Probably better than most "bulk" long rifle ammo. Plus, it's very quiet, most air rifles are louder.
Same range, same day shooting Wolf MT standard velocity ammo, comparing the targets, you can see the drop at 50 yards caused by the lower velocity. The target grids are 1".
Thank you very much B.L.E.
This is exactly the type info I'm looking for. I have heard
CCI Quiet was good stuff but I want to get opinions
of others aswell. I plan to buy a few boxes of what yall
suggest and test myself but theres no sence in reinventing the
wheel totaly from scrach.

Super Colibri is not sufficiently accurate for shots beyond a few feet in any of my guns. Not recommended for rifles, BTW.
Remington C-Bee is somewhat louder BUT is significantly more accurate. It is as accurate as normal 22 lr HV in my guns.
Winchester and CCI are somewhere in the middle accuracy wise but maybe slightly quieter than the C-Bee.

Yeah, I quit 22 a while back. Too expensive.
It works on brain shots. Body shots are worthless, even on big crows and squirrels.
The recent manufacture CCI CB short ammo is much more accurate that the old stuff from ~6 years ago. 8moa vs 4 moa
With a 24" barrel it sounds like a BB gun unless it hits something hard.
If it hits a raccoon it makes a hollow sound.
The 29 gr bullet moves at 700 fps and has 0.45 gr of powder behind it.
The Polish short target ammo has 0.65 gr powder, which is too much to be BB gun quiet.
Haven't found much that was quiet and accurate at the same time
If you can find CCI Quiet then get as much of it. Full 40 grain round in the 670-700 FPS velocity ranges sounds like a pellet gun,..... except for the fact that it carries almost 3 times as much weight as a typical 14 grain .22 pellet.
Chronographed, I saw not too much of a standard deviation, but one shot out of 5 or so rounds would come up with a spike in velocity increasing the overall FPS spread to a high margin.
I might say that your tight 5 + shot groups isn't something you can expect Anywhere near a consistent basis,.... but you might be able to expect 2-3 MOA easily at 50 y. Quiets can be quiet in a long barreled rifle, but still have a bit of a crack in carbines. They however are probably the best over all low decipel pest/ varmint rounds for intermediate rimfire ranges- 20-50 yards max.

Aguila Super Colibri is the only thing you need to know. If you're running a suppressor that changes the conversation a little.

Will it function a semi-auto?
