Remington‘s Subsonic line in .22 LR (part no. 21135) keeps the 40-grain plated hollow point bullet below the sound barrier, trading a bit of velocity for a quieter shot without giving up Remington’s rimfire quality. As with the centerfire line, Remington holds the same standard for reliability shot to shot. Stock up on this rimfire ammunition for a quieter range or backyard session.
