If you're hunting, you may see improved terminal performance, but I really only plink with .22s.Dang, I was getting excited for nothing.
There are several 22 lRs that are faster than standard- usually with a lighter bullet. I even have some spitzer (pointed) 22 LR, and 22 LR Wadcutter (real tack driver out to 50 ft) and some real heavy SLOW bullets.
HOWEVER_ thee is a problem- when you move to a HEAVY bullet, or a REAL fast bullet, the rate of twist of rifling may not be adequate to stabilize the super-duper- golly-gee-whiz ammo, Have shot some that would have a hell of a WOUNDING ABility, since rounds were going thru target sideways!

Well I just had a friend tell me about some bullets he has. He has some that shoot really slow, like 750fps or so. He said that they are used to be quieter when you don't want to be loud. That would be good when you wanted to keep the noise down around where you're shooting. I guess it could also be used to keep noise down when you don't want to scare off game if you're going for multiple kills in one hunt.
EDIT:
Oh yeah! My girlfriend's uncle told me that he was watching TV today, and he saw someone shoot a target on bull's eye from 250 yards away with a .22 pistol!
I was like O_O!

The low sound ammo you are referring to is CB caps. It has .22 short bullet with lower amount of powder with correspondingly lower energy/killing power. The above poster is correct in that the hyper velocity, or the very heavy bullet ammo usually don't shoot as accurate with standard rifling twist rate of 1-16" for .22 rimfire. I've shot rabbit and squirrels with .22s all my life so have a pretty good idea of what shoots best for small game hunting. In low velocity, low sound ammo, the .22LR subsonic, or target ammo velocity level works great-especially for squirrel. The most consistant HV ammo I've seen is cci mini mag LR. Shooting ANY .22LR at 250 yards is for the fun of it, just that-don't try shooting game that far away with .22LR regardless of what bullet you use as the remaining energy is extremely low at that range.
i seen the aguilla rounds that dont have any powder in the bullet just have the primer to fire the bullet, ok. now is 550 fps enough to kill rabbit and squirrel and to what distance?
awsome, i was curious because i remember back in the day with my pellet guns that only the ones with a 600+ fps rating would actually kill in one shot hits, others would take 2-3 shots to terminate the rabbit. and that is why i switched to rimfires
Lo power .22
Be careful with the low power .22's- the one's with just priming compound can stick in rifle barrels!! The warning on the box says to use in handguns only. Just thought I'd add that,I didn't see it stated previously. Thanks for letting this Nubie to your boards!!

The Agulia Colibre or Super Colibre loads work great but if using a long rifle make sure they leave the barrell. They are primer only and very quit, but very low velocity. great for vermin in an urban enviroment.
For vermin in an urban environment, I usually use 12 g buckshot loads, and keep the .22s for rats.
The Remington Yellow jacket and the cci stinger have been around for years. I used to use yellow jackets in my Remington 511x. It has a 27" barrel so I get even more velocity. They hit hard but the accuracy was not as good as std velocity rounds.
personally dont like the sss's, there too heavy and tumble too much too soon. also in auto's the small case is a pain in the arse
Any real target .22LR ammo is subsonic. That's exactly what I use for squirrel hunting-target ammo. Not only less sound, but also enhanced accuracy.
.22 speed??
Correct me if I'm wrong,but it seems I read somewhere that a .22LR developes max velocity in a 20" barrel. Longer than that actually slows bullet speed. Any takers on this info??
Yes I have used the Aguila, Super Max, .22 LR ammo and it did not group well in my Savage MKII bolt action, but it shoots great in my son's Ruger 22LR Auto-loading pistol.
Billbob- a .22LR actually gets its max velocity in the first TWELVE inches of bbl- over that, it starts slowing down a smidge. The longer barrel gives a longer aiming radius, and in some cases, better barrel harmonics.
But FASTEST is frequently not the most accurate. Have just this week been shooting some German Match ammo that is barely supersonic- and am getting 5 rd, 50 meter groups that you can cover with an aspirin tablet- no lie! (On the other hand, the price of the stuff will remind you of shortest verse in Bible- "Jesus wept." )

Those prices are insane! I'm sorry if you pay that much for ammo. My local gun shop sells the bricks of 550 Remington Golden Bullet HP 40gr for $18, and that site lists it for $31! Ouch!
Mine shoot good out to 100 yards. I was getting 1.5" groups with no keyholing. out of them might be my longer than normal barrel.
