.22LR and transonic zone

[700plm]

Since it's well known that shooting at transonic speeds and destabilizes the bullet.
I was a bit confused on how even match .22lr ammo (~1000 to ~1100fps) are meant to travel in transonic speeds (~890fps to ~1340fps).
Shouldn't sub 900fps ammo be inherently more accurate ?
thanks !

There’s been a few threads on this already. Certain bullets may be effected but seems most don’t care from what I remember

The 22lr is not affected by supersonic transition as much as the internet claims.
It causes only about 2 degrees of yaw with the 40 grain round nose 22lr.
That's about 0.008 inch of wobble on a 0.47 inch long bullet.

Think about it...if transition was such a problem, shouldn't it destabilize the projectile?
When was the last time you saw a keyholed 22lr target?

The reason for poor accuracy with hi-v 22lr is how poorly they're made.
Look at y'er typical Federal, Remington, Winchester, Aguila, Armscor or CCI 22lr cartridges.
They're beat to snot, as shipped from the factory.
Garbage in = garbage out.
