Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but I'm still curious what the OP found out about the accuracy and point of impact w/ the subsonic rounds.

I've been busy lately and haven't really had a chance to do much shooting. I'll try to get around to it within the next few days. I know the Super Colibri is rated at 500fps and the CCI stuff is supposed to be 750fps. As someone mentioned earlier I am dedicating one of my .22s to be sighted for shooting these loads. It would be too much trouble to re-sight when you wanted to use regular velocity ammo and I have a surplus of .22 rifles anyway.

My rig is sighted in for standard velocity .22 lr (1050 fps), and it shoots CB shorts about 1/4" low at 35 yards. Accuracy isn't as good as the match .22 lr's, but it is more than adequate for squirrels.

Yea I doubt the noise reduction is much over the CB shorts anyway
WORLD of difference. I shot some CB's in mine to check, they are MUCH louder.

There was another thread about these recently and it was clearly stated that they are for short distances. I had two of those miniature cigarette lighters in my truck so I stood them up at 20 yards and my scope was on for both.
