CCI Quiet-22 .22 LR 40gr Lead Nose Ammunition

CCI Quiet-22 .22 LR 40-grain lead nose ammunition (brand part no. 960) is a specialty low-noise loading built for shooters who want a dramatically quieter report than standard .22 LR without a suppressor. CCI Ammunition drops velocity far below standard .22 LR speeds, cutting both muzzle blast and the sonic crack most rimfire ammunition produces. That makes it a favorite for backyard pest control, indoor air-gun-style ranges, and any situation where noise discipline matters more than raw power. The 40-grain lead round nose bullet still cycles reliably in bolt-action and single-shot rimfire platforms despite the reduced velocity. This is purpose-built rimfire ammunition for the quietest possible .22 LR shot.
