Federal AE22SUP1 American Eagle Suppressor 22 LR 45 gr 970 fps Copper-Plated Round Nose 50 Bx/100 Cs

If you're running a suppressed .22 rifle, Federal American Eagle Suppressor .22 LR ammunition is built specifically for that mission. These 45-grain, copper-plated round nose rounds load to subsonic velocities—that's the key to getting the most out of your can. A regular .22 LR still cracks when it breaks the sound barrier, even through a suppressor. Federal engineered these rounds to stay below that threshold, so your suppressor actually does its job and delivers the hearing-protection performance you're counting on.

Built for the shooter who puts rounds downrange regularly, this ammunition uses clean-burning powders that keep fouling down—important when you're shooting subsonic loads that tend to leave more residue. The combination of bullet weight and propellant selection keeps reliable function in semi-automatic platforms, so you're not dealing with feeding hiccups between shots. At 50 rounds per box, you get a practical volume for a range session or small game hunt.

Whether you're zeroing a new suppressor, working on precision at distance, or just enjoying quiet trigger time, subsonic .22 LR is the only choice that makes sense with a can. Standard velocity rounds will still go supersonic and make noise—you'll defeat half the purpose of having a suppressor. Federal American Eagle Suppressor does the math for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need subsonic .22 ammo for my suppressor?

Standard .22 LR ammunition travels faster than the speed of sound, which creates a loud supersonic crack when the bullet breaks the sound barrier. A suppressor can't silence that crack—it only reduces the gunshot noise from the muzzle blast. Subsonic loads like Federal American Eagle Suppressor stay below the sound barrier, so your suppressor delivers genuine hearing protection.

Will this ammo cycle reliably in my semi-automatic .22?

Yes. Federal American Eagle Suppressor is engineered to function reliably in semi-automatic .22 rifles. The powder and bullet weight combination ensure consistent ignition and reliable cycling.

What's in each box?

Each box contains 50 rounds of .22 LR ammunition.

Is this ammo suitable for small game hunting with a suppressed rifle?

These rounds are compatible with suppressed .22 rifles and deliver subsonic performance. For hunting applications, confirm your local regulations and choose bullet performance appropriate to your game and distance.
