Remington Subsonic .22 LR 40 Grain Plated Lead Hollow Point Ammunition

Remington Subsonic .22 LR ammunition delivers the stealth and consistency you want when shooting suppressed or in noise-sensitive situations. Built with 40-grain plated lead hollow point bullets, this rimfire load is engineered to stay subsonic—traveling below the sound barrier to eliminate the supersonic crack that gives away your position or disturbs others nearby. Whether you're hunting, training, or plinking with a suppressed .22, subsonic ammo lets you shoot quieter without sacrificing reliability.

The engineering here matters. Remington developed this load with tight velocity control to ensure consistency shot to shot, and the hollow point design is optimized for reduced lead fouling in suppressor baffles—a real advantage if you shoot suppressed regularly and want to minimize maintenance headaches. The copper-plated bullet also delivers reliable expansion at the lower velocities inherent to subsonic loads, so you get effective performance even without the supersonic speeds of standard .22 LR.

This ammunition comes in 100-round boxes and is made in the USA. It's a solid choice for hunters and shooters who value consistency, stealth, and the practical benefits of shooting below the sound barrier with a quality .22 rifle or handgun.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition good for suppressed shooting?

Yes. Remington Subsonic is specifically designed for use with suppressors. The subsonic velocity prevents the supersonic crack that would otherwise occur, and the hollow point bullet is optimized to reduce lead fouling in suppressor baffles, which helps keep your can cleaner longer.

What is subsonic ammunition?

Subsonic ammunition is loaded to velocities below the speed of sound (approximately 1,125 feet per second). This eliminates the sharp supersonic crack that occurs when a bullet passes through the sound barrier, making the shot significantly quieter—especially when paired with a suppressor.

Can I use this in any .22 LR rifle or handgun?

Subsonic .22 LR ammunition is compatible with standard .22 LR firearms. However, some semi-automatic .22 rifles may require adjustment or have feeding considerations with subsonic loads due to their lower velocity. Check your firearm's manual or contact the manufacturer if you have concerns about reliability with subsonic ammunition in a specific platform.

What's the advantage of the plated hollow point bullet?

The copper-plated hollow point design provides reliable expansion at subsonic velocities while reducing lead fouling inside suppressor baffles compared to standard lead bullets. This helps your suppressor stay cleaner and require less maintenance over time.
