A coworkers been thining out the squirrel population at his place in town. Swears by these little rounds! Thoughts?

They shoot fine but they are dirty rounds.

They don't cycle in my semiauto 10/22

Quiter than an air rifle

I shoot CCI .22 longs, but they're pretty much the same thing.
Will kill squirrels. Difficult to shoot at any kind of range though.

I suspect you mean CCI CB longs, which are subsonic rounds. Big difference between subsonic, standard and high-velocity.
Subsonics will not cycle semi-auto actions, but the others will.

JJB,
I've not shot the Super Colibri, but I have shot most every other subsonic 22LR round available. In my guns, CCI "Quiet 22" offers the best combination of accuracy and reliability. While most subsonic rounds can be expeced to automatically cycle the action of a semi-auto, in my experience this is not the case w/ the I "super slow" rounds (Super Colibri, Quiet 22, 22 Short and CCI CB Long). Many of these rounds are much shorter than the usual 22LR; that can be a problem if one's shooting the 10/22 or 77/22. When such short rounds are shot in the rotary magazine, instead of feeding to the action, the rounds nosedive into the mag. W/ it's 20 gr bullet, I bet that would happen w/ the Super Colibri, as well. CCI Quiet 22 will feed from the Ruger rotary magazine.

This is off-topic, but in case anyone wants some CCI Mini-Mags, Midway had a bunch a few days ago. They filled my (pretty old) backorder of 5000 rounds.
I had forgotten about the order until I got an email saying they had shipped the ammo to me.
eta: This stuff is the best I've ever used in .22LR conversions kits for Glock pistols, and the best I've used in my S&W 15-22.

I've used the Super Colibri, as others have said, they won't cycle most semi-auto pistols, much less a rifle.
I always have to manually cycle my Mark II when I use them.

I used the Super Colibri at first to thin my squirrel population...but found the CCI Quiet works 100% better.
