Can slow subsonic 22LR ammo be effective for hunting small game and birds? To find out I shot groups and ballistics gel tested some CCI Quiet Subsonic ammo using high velocity CCI Mini-Mag's as benchmark for comparison. This .22 long rifle ammo is nice because it is so quiet you can hunt without ear protection, but does it have enough power to take game at 50 yards? And is the bullet drop too much?

In this .22lr range test I used the following rounds:
• CCI Mini-Mag 40 gr coper plated round nose (1235 fps)
• CCI Quiet 40 gr round nose (710 fps)
High velocity 22 long rifle ammunition is preferred for hunting and for good reason because it gives you longer range and more power. But can the ultra-low velocity CCI Quiet ammo deliver enough range and power to still effectively hunt some small game like squirrels and rabbits? I used a Savage Mark II FVXP, with 21" heavy barrel.
