Remington Subsonic 22 LR 40 gr HP Rimfire Ammunition - 225 Rounds per Box

Remington Subsonic 22 LR ammunition delivers the quiet performance you need for suppressed shooting, varmint control, or backyard plinking without disturbing the neighbors. Built as a collaboration between Remington and AAC, this subsonic rimfire rounds stay below the sound barrier at 1050 fps, eliminating the supersonic crack that typically comes with 22 Long Rifle loads. The 40-grain copper-plated hollow-point bullet is engineered to minimize lead fouling in suppressor baffles—a real advantage if you're running a silencer regularly—while remaining effective at subsonic velocities.

If you shoot suppressed 22 rifles or pistols, subsonic ammunition is a game-changer for hearing safety and hearing protection. Unlike standard 22 LR, which cracks above the sound barrier even from a pistol, subsonic loads let your suppressor do its job without fighting physics. The hollow-point design gives you terminal performance suitable for small game and pest control, and the tight velocity control keeps shots consistent shot to shot—critical when you're working with lower-velocity ballistics.

Each box contains 225 rounds, making it practical for regular suppressed shooting sessions or serious varmint days. Whether you're zeroing a new 22 rifle, working up a handload, or just looking for hearing-safe practice ammo, Remington Subsonic delivers the consistency and sound signature you expect from a major manufacturer's purpose-built load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this ammunition work with my suppressed 22 rifle?

Yes. Remington Subsonic is specifically designed for suppressed 22 LR rifles and pistols. The subsonic velocity and hollow-point design work together to keep noise levels low while minimizing lead fouling in suppressor baffles.

Is subsonic 22 LR quieter than standard 22 ammunition?

Subsonic ammunition eliminates the supersonic crack that standard 22 LR produces, even from a pistol barrel. When paired with a suppressor, subsonic rounds are significantly quieter and let the silencer perform at its best.

What is the ballistic coefficient for this round?

The ballistic coefficient is .079, which is typical for lightweight 22 LR bullets. This reflects the aerodynamic profile of the 40-grain projectile at subsonic velocities.

Can I use Remington Subsonic in my unsuppressed 22?

Yes, this ammunition will function in standard unsuppressed 22 rifles and pistols. The subsonic velocity works in any 22 LR chamber, though you'll realize the noise and suppressor benefits only if you're running a silencer.
