CCI .22LR Polymer Suppressor

[Sir Henry]

I bought 4,000 rounds of suppressor ammo and it arrived yesterday. My suppressor paperwork came back approved yesterday also.

You will enjoy it. Most cans will cause a small bit of zero drift, bit not much.

Best part is it’s consistent so you can take it on and off and remember the adjustment which is usually just elevation.

Look for my Ruger 22/45 MK IV thread.

Shooting 22lr quietly is a joy.

standard velocity .22 is subsonic too........Works great with suppressors.......

This ammo is cleaner so you don’t have to clean the can as often as you plus it’s 45 grain so it has a little more foot pounds.

The key there, as often, is that much of the schmegma from shooting rimfire is the powder. Regular rounds with powder and lube are far worse.

What is the core of your can? 17-4? If so, a breakthrough makes a good suppressor cleaning agent. If you have an ultrasonic, even better. Put the agent in a mason jar and loosely string the baffles. Set the jar in the ultrasonic cleaner. Fill the cleaner with water. And turn on.

Fish or pull the baffles out. Put the lid on the mason jar. I'm at 7 or 8 reuses with my first fill of mason jars.

1500 rounds to 2500 is where I typically clean mine, but I've done it as high as 7k.

That is a lot of rounds before cleaning. I’ve been told to clean every 500 rounds.

[DsGrouse]

Lol, everyone says 500, but when you are having fun, what is another few K.

The 7k was an endurance test to see what cleaned best wet rotary tjmbling with pins or ultrasonic. All pre-suppressor cleaning solutions.

With break through, over night in an ultrasonic wwill do 95%. It'd be even less time in rotary with pins and break through

I’m told silencers are even more quiet when they are dirty. There is a sweet spot where they are dirty but not fully clogged.

Don't think I have a 22 with a treaded barrel. All mine are kind of old.

Not quieter per se, but the tone isn't as bright. In the case of .22 LR, the high-pitched bark is taken down as much as an octave. That takes as little as 5 rounds to do.

That’s makes sense.

DsGrouse, our Firearms Advisor, North Country Gal, hasn't been online for awhile and for sad, but very good reasons. I hope she returns. She is amazing. And the first of our Firearms Advisors, TxGunrunner, has long been absent. He may never post again.

But you have demonstrated some ambitious and deep understanding of guns, gunsmithing, and all things ballistics. In my opinion, you are the forum's defacto Firearms Advisor. Is there anything about shooting that you haven't quantified? Rhetorical. Don't answer. But, wow.

Even though none of what you're doing or reporting here is actually relevant to me in my limited shooting hobby, it is so very impressive to read. Thanks for keeping us all engaged. Someone else may notice it, too.

That's kind of you to say, but in the world of firearms my 52 years still rank me as a guppy in the pond.
