Hey ya'll. I love plinking with the good ol' .22 bolt gun. Was just wondering how to keep the rounds quiet without breaking the bank?
I have a SilencerCo Sparrow on the way, and several .22 rifles. 10/22, Savage Mark II, and I also have a Ruger 22/45.
The name of the game is shooting a LOT for a little! I would like to make shooting in the backyard fun and enjoyable for both my ears and my wallet. I can shoot bulk ammo from Walmart all day long and it won't break the bank, but it is super sonic in the rifles.
I was hoping you all might know of some ammunition that is subsonic, copper plated, and affordable.. I have looked around and the only thing I have found would be the 40gr CCI Subsonic Copper Plated Segmented Hp rounds that are expensive!! I would like them to be plated to reduce the fouling..
I know I can use the Winchester bulk packs through my handgun and they will stay supersonic, so that's cool. What I am wondering is how to keep the ammo subsonic in my rifles without buying the more expensive subsonic rounds...
Does anyone have any experience porting barrels? Does this affect accuracy? Reliability? Can I do it myself? (I'm handy and have all of the tools needed to do so..)
Another thing i have seen is the TacSol 10/22 SB-X Barrel, which is 12.5" of barrel and a shroud welded on to make it 16" OAL. Would this shorter barrel keep the rounds subsonic?
Any suggestions? I would rather do something to the gun in order to shoot the cheaper and copper plated bulk packs of ammo. I am not too worried about 1/2 MOA shooting, the bulk packs are just fine, I am just plinking in the back yard and I don't want my neighbors to go insane from hearing gunshots all the time.
Any thoughts would be welcome!
