CCI Suppressor Max 22 LR Ammunition

CCI Ammunition is coming out with the all-new Suppressor Max 22 LR cartridge. This small-game load is designed for optimal accuracy, terminal performance and noise reduction when fired through a firearm equipped with a rimfire suppressor. The hollowpoint bullet ensures effective segmentation on impact, even at its low-decibel, subsonic 970 fps muzzle velocity. 

“Whisper-quiet yet powerful rimfire performance is now within reach,” said CCI’s Rimfire Product Line Manager Steve Monniere. “CCI Suppressor Max delivers excellent accuracy, and our proven segmenting hollow-point bullet also provides exceptional terminal performance. More and more shooters and hunters are opting for suppressed firearms, and they will all love this new 45-grain 22 LR option.

Lower-velocity subsonic rounds like Suppressor Max 22 LR work well with suppressors because they eliminate the sharp crack of the bullet breaking the sound barrier as they head downrange. In addition to this, higher-velocity rounds can become unstable as they slow down and pass once again through the sound barrier, which can have an adverse effect on your accuracy at longer distances. 

Features of CCI’s Suppressor Max 22 LR round include a loading to a 970 fps subsonic velocity for quiet performance, an overall design built for maximum effectiveness on target out of a suppressed rifle or pistol, a 45-grain segmenting hollow-point bullet that is safe to shoot through all suppressors, customized hollow-point bullet segments reliably at low velocity, unlike conventional suppressor rounds and reliable cycling in .22LR semi-automatic firearms. The Suppressor Max 22 LR round is available in 100-count packaging and has an MSRP of $18.99 per box.
