CCI Quiet-22 rimfire ammunition (brand part no. 975CC) loads a 45-grain lead round nose bullet at a deliberately reduced velocity, producing a report so mild CCI markets it as roughly comparable to a pellet gun even without a suppressor. Standard .22 LR is already a quiet cartridge by centerfire standards, but Quiet-22 goes further by loading well below the speed of sound and keeping chamber pressure low, which cuts both the muzzle report and the sonic crack a faster round produces. That makes it a practical choice for backyard plinking, pest control near neighbors, or small-game hunting where noise discretion matters. For .22 LR shooters who want the quietest practical option without a suppressor, this rimfire ammunition from CCI Ammunition is built for exactly that.
