    Sure. What would you like to know? Some of it doesn't reliably cycle semi-automatic actions in some firearms; some is pretty good about it. Some of the really heavy stuff (like the Aguila SSS-Sniper 60gr) really needs a faster twist barrel than most rack .22 barrels are rifled for. Some standard velocity stuff will stay subsonic out of short pistol barrels.

    60gr Sniper Subs will destabalize and tumble pretty quickly, you can hear them whiz through the air if you have a can

    CCI Quiets are cool but for me kind of shoot like hell and drop 6-7 inches at 50 yards

    CCI Subs usually shoot pretty well for me, but drop quick after 60-70 yards

    Federal Target loads are technically sub sonic, the few I've shot shoot pretty well with a suppressor

    Don't recall shooting Remington subs, or RWS or Eley

    Do you have a suppressor? Do you want to use it with a rifle?

    I've used CCI Standard and Remington Subsonic. Both have worked fine with my MP-15/22 suppressed and my Savage FVSR.

    For my MP-22, I just use Federal Bulk. It doesn't go supersonic in the pistol.

    CCI Quiet is great for the granddaughters. They can shoot it out of their cricket without hearing protection.
