Aguila SSS Sniper Subsonic .22 LR ammunition delivers quiet, accurate performance for shooters who need both stealth and precision. Built on a short case with standard .22 LR overall dimensions, this subsonic rimfire load uses a 60-grain lead round nose bullet designed to perform effectively in rifles with faster barrel twists. The subsonic velocity keeps noise signature low—ideal for backyard practice, suppressed shooting, or small-game hunting where noise discipline matters. Whether you're zeroing a new .22, training on a tight budget, or hunting where quiet counts, Aguila SSS gives you reliable, controlled performance without the report.
At 950 feet per second from the muzzle, this load stays subsonic in virtually any barrel length, which means less report and less recoil for followup shots. The 60-grain bullet weight provides stable flight and consistent accuracy downrange, maintaining 848 ft/sec at 100 yards with 96 foot-pounds of energy—enough for small-game work and target shooting out to moderate distances. Because the cartridge matches standard .22 LR dimensions, it feeds and chambers reliably in any .22 LR firearm, simplifying logistics if you run multiple rimfire rifles.
Aguila's subsonic .22 LR rounds come packaged five thousand to the case with fifty rounds per box, making bulk purchasing practical for serious shooters and hunters who go through rimfire ammo regularly. This is purpose-built ammunition for shooters who've learned that subsonic loads and a sound suppressor are a legitimate combo for hearing-safe, low-signature shooting without the expense and complexity of center-fire alternatives.
