Re: Best sub-sonic .22 ammo for hunting
Aguila Super Colibiri is a 20g sub sonic that might do the trick. Suppressor quiet without the suppressor out of a decent ~20" rifle barrel.

Rem. Sub-sonic is running at 1050 ft/s. Look at the CCI quiet it only run at 710 ft/s these may help.

Also a note if you look at midways site they give muzzle velocity for each loading. You just have to pick it and look at the Ballistics Information.

Any ammo under the 1050 ft/s mark is sub-sonic ammo. What type game are you shooting and having the pass thur's on?

Lol I know what subsonic ammo speeds are. What I'm needing is subsonic ammo that will expand or at least stay inside squirrels. I can't be having the bullet rip through and potentially hit something. Squirrels

+1 cci segmented sub. I still mostly run the cci regular ss ammo through mine, much much cleaner than the Rem SS ammo.
I do squirrel control in pop's little neighborhood and I just wait until I have a shot with the tree as the bullet stop. Otherwise get a pellet gun, eventually going to miss if you're making limbshots.

Re: Best sub-sonic .22 ammo 4 hunting w/suppressor
That segmented one from cci is nice. It can be hard to find though. If you do find it, make sure you are getting the subsonic one... the packaging between the faster lighter ones and the subs looks pretty much the same.
If you are really worried about your rounds down range, ditch the suppressor and run the Colibri ammunition. Not as accurate though, and you will need to place a good shot.
Like south said, use the tree for a backstop.

CCI Standard velocity is subsonic, so your statement is confusing. It's rated at 1070 fps. It's also the cheapest out there
Winchester subsonic is rated at 1065
RWS is really quiet 1000 fps but most expensive
Gemtech stuff is just CCI made loaded to 1020 fps so I imagine its very similar to the RWS
