Buffalo's channel is one of a couple that feels like a friend telling it to me straight and I don't leave feeling like I've been conned. I appreciate your videos.
I had the same results out of my Winchester 69 while testing different ammo to se which one it liked the best. It dropped so much compared to standard 22lr that I stopped shooting it. If you are going to shoot it regularly you need a dedicated rifle for it.
Buffalo quickly became one of my favorites on UA-cam. He’s the guy I reference for people who are new to guns but eager to learn more. He describes things very clearly and is a great place for anyone to learn more about ballistics and see fun shooting. And of course I’m not the only one who loves “Hello guys and gals, Buffalo here!
One of the great finds this weekend is your channel thank god for it and your family safe shooting videos for the whole family. God bless and stay safe
Gave my dad a Mossberg 502 plinkster a few years ago. With the rifle, I gave him a box of the CCI quiets. They work great with dispatching ground hogs on his property. Great video man.
Always a pleasure Buffalo, I’ve never used those myself. If I want something a little quieter I use .22 shorts. They shoot very well through my Henry 002. Thanks for all your good work.
I've played around with this series for a couple of years. The higher velocity quiets and 970 fps cci suppressor round are the way to go on a semiautomatic. I run them in a dpms panther I've made a designated 22 using a cmmg conversion bolt and mag. For a little extra on the noise reduction check out the Ar-stoner linear compensator. I run one on my setup. Its threaded 1/2x 28 and it projects all gases forward. It tones down the perceived noise even more and you can snag one for $30-40 at the most. A great little compliment for a legal "can" for this round.
I am a big fan of the cci quiet loads. One of my favorite plink rounds. For yrs i had used CB shorts then longs eventually the quiets came along. I think they are a little bit louder with the slightly bigger charge to push the 40 gr instead the 29gr. at the same 710fps. The cb's are also just enough to not really need much or any hearing protection depending on surroundings. A bunch of cb long ammo and my 6 inch model 17 s&w was a fine use of a warm afternoon plinking around the yard. No empty shotshell or milk cap was safe.
We like these rounds for practice with our NAA...the softer recoil much easier on our old hands...we are out of them right now, but sooner/later they will show up again...worth the couple extra dollars for how we use them...
Nice video. I agree with your logic on supressors, and feel the same way.Eley used to make a .22 LR round with a 40 grain bullet at around 650 fps that was quite accurate at 50 yards. I think I still have a box here somewhere.
First, I love your range. Seems like such a nice peaceful place to relax. So surprising that you could get such a variety of .22 ammo. CCI is the best. Great video. Thanks.
I've never seen a video on these, thanks for doing something different. I'm gonna give the originals a try if I can find some. Really appreciate your videos 👍👍
I use the standard Quiet in my back yard and at 25-30 yards they move along but can't cycle my Ruger 10/22 so it becomes a single shot. Same for my Beretta 92 22lr. Great option for shooting when you want to stay off the neighbor's radar.
@@anon8429 I've shot hundreds through my Ruger and not a single one ever cycled. Maybe the semi auto variety will work but I've never been able to find them. Like Buffalo demonstrated, accuracy at 25 yards is excellent.
I've tried them in my 10/22 and while there was no surprise at being single-shot, the rounds kept having feed failures and the bullet would get all bent in the case.
@@randystevens6302 Yeah, I cycle the bolt handle while using a BX-25 mag and then it would only come halfway forward with the round lodged at an angle. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Brilliant as always Buffalo thanks. Moderators are used widely in the UK for most calibres. Not required by law, but it is entered on your Firearms Certificate. I find with 22lr rounds such as the CCI supersonics that the moderator makes no difference to noise level. Silence being paramount in pest control, I use Norma Subs at about 980fps. The only "noise" is the action, and the target being hit. Minimum disturbance is essential. Good to 100 yards with holdover out of a CZ457. Very tight groups on paper at all ranges up to 125 yards. I am dreading the lead ban, already tried Norma "Eco". Accurate but the crack makes pest control a joke, shoot one rabbit and the rest disappear. Always enjoy your honest and down to earth videos.
Brother you are awesome, with that 22 rifle. I have a Henry 22 lever action. Also a 10/22 rifle. Your very right. Open sights. That's how I was trained. Keep it going.
I love all of these. It’s a terrible addiction now. Its unbelievable how quiet they actually are. I also have some that are like 1050, but I haven’t seen the one at 835, but I will look for some. I had a little better luck accuracy wise with the segmented out of my BMR Bergara. I like it for shooting pest without bothering anyone or spooking the horses. I like that it is less likely to ricochet too. I used to use a 17 HMR for that purpose, but at close ranges, this does the job much more quietly. I can also tell you that 7 year olds enjoy shooting the original quiet as well. They are just great products. Thanks for the video.
Great video, and very informative.I really appreciate your channel. Not only for the great content, but also for what it DOESN'T have. I don't need lead ins with explosions, lightning bolts, smoke and all the other crap some other channels have. I'm a happy camper with the great banjo pickin'!!
I used the 735fps version and it only cycled in my HK416-22 half the time .. I figured that's why they called it "semi-auto". Your thoroughness in your videos is exemplary. Great info.
Excellent video, I have shot a bunch of the CCI Quiets and have always thought that ammo was nothing more than niche at best and would have ever expected that level of accuracy!
Great job. You did what most of us would not have done, so the education was worth our time to watch. Now most of us don't have to do the work. If a quiet shot is required we can make a reasonably intelligent choice in what to by without having to buy all three. Good education, Bro.
Enjoyed today's range test, Buff, and look forward to the gel test. Had to smile when I saw you wearing an OG's Danger Show branded garment. I'm one of his branded garment-wearing fans, too. You're right about freedom being the greater good, and OG is right, too, with his statement: "Nobody is coming. It's up to you."
Having purchased some of the CCI quiet 22 semi-auto version and some the original version, I was interested to see someone actually comparing results. Thanks for that!
Great vid Buffalo, love the quiet CCI bullets. Great test and results. I have a nutra problem in my area and these keep the neighbors from complaining. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Buffalo. I'm with you re: suppressors. Nothing against them, but I just don't have a need for one and YES, the NFA should be repealed. In my High Standard target pistol I use only CCI Standard Velocity, my wife uses Wolf Match Target in her CZ 457 when she is shooting for groups. They are very quiet. I am sure the "Quiet" rounds are even more so. The down side is that range estimation becomes very important. As your test shows. If you misjudge the distance to a squirrel, for example, by 10 yds. you could easily miss. 👍
Just watched this video. And a great job! I’ve followed for a little bit and have numerous vids to catch up on (which I am). But this is one of the best videos I’ve seen information wise! Not just of your videos, but flat out on YT! Great job! And killer data, as I am seeking something along these lines for some squirrel hunting out of my old Savage BA.
It's great that you're making this content. Well done. It can't be stressed enough how quiet CCI Quiet is compared to any .22lr subsonic I've ever tried (never tried it in the newer semiauto version). It's not even close. In a bolt action rile in an outdoor environment it was shockingly quiet. I found accuracy to be poor, even out of some high end rifles. At 25 yards you could hit just about any reasonably sized target, if shooting pests, head shots wouldn't be a problem - BUT - at 750ish fps with a 40gr bullet the trajectory, which is a crack up, along with the loss of accuracy versus your favorite ammo makes 50yd shots a little iffy. I would say a tennis ball would be in trouble but a ping pong ball might be a real challenge. You could body shoot a large pest at that distance I guess, but that's a questionable thing to do (unless you're being attacked by zombie rabbits or something similar). Remember, this is .22 air gun territory, 550 to 850fps with about a 13gr bullet, but you're lobbing a projectile that's triple the weight at 750fps. I prefer my old RWS air rifle if I need to be super quiet (it's maybe even quieter!) but being able to shoot all of my old bolt action, lever, slide action and single shots with a safe backstop without people knowing or being bothered is a great thing. Absolutely no need to wear any type of ear protection either
In my Winchester 94 .22 which had a 21 or 22 inch barrel (I cant check because I no longer have it) I found even the CCI HP 1050 FPS was almost as quiet as my suppressed 12 inch Ruger 10/22 (I live in England and our minimum barrel length is 11.75 inches) so I never bothered to put a suppressor on it.
Just watched this one, and Part II, today, but no sooner than I watched them back to back, I had some tree trimming to do. Now I'm back, and want to comment. Thanks for this two-part series, Buffalo. It was *very* helpful. I'm wanting to upgrade from an air rifle to deal with squirrels in my pecan tree, but I live within city limits. So I was thinking quiet ammo in a 10/22 carbine. Some time back I bought some boxes of the Aguila Colibrí rounds ( the "regulars" at 420 fps, not the Super ones) and have used them on rats and possums. (We may live in the city, but we keep chickens and quail and rabbits and garden.) The Colibrí rounds are no louder than a cap gun, and worked okay on rats, but took a couple of rounds to dispatch a possum (those varmints have a tough hide). BTW, I fired those rounds through a Ruger Wrangler from around 6' away.. So I started searching for info/videos on quiet ammo with some actual gunpowder in the casing. I knew about CCI Quiets, so I started my search with that. And, Lo! And Behold! Buffalo came through for me. I was thinking of using the Quiet-22 stuff in a 10/22 carbine, so I'll probably go with some of the Semi-Auto version. Thanks for this.
This was a nice fun to watch & very informative video that is very enjoyable to see. I haven’t got the segmented version yet, I had a chance to but decided the other two are plenty for us(my sons & I). The semi auto run well in everything we have & are very accurate for $5 a box of 50. The 710fps quiet we have found runs well in my CZ 457 28” Jaguar 1/2x28, 1976 Remington 572 pump, 1968 Wards Westerfield 87a, 1949 Remington 550-1 and of course my revolvers. Your chrono data is very informative & helpful. Thanks for your work here. Nice to know passing on the segment variety wasn’t a poor decision. The semi auto is really good(my go to) especially for our older match pistols, it runs flawlessly! It’s fun out of our 1982 Marlin model 60, 1943 Winchester 74, & Ruger 10/22. We agree, freedom is the greater good!
I alternate between the quiet 22LR and 22 short CB with my Henry for rodent control or plinking. They both have similar sound levels and velocities; aside from 40gr vs 29 gr., they pretty much perform the same way for what I use them for. Excellent video!
I too like the CCI Quiet for the same reason. Less obvious evening or night time dispatch of pest. I find they are quieter than my my FX Dreamline PCP air rifle (we are not allowed suppressors even on air rifles in Canada). Great video and look forward to the ballistic gel tests.
Been watching a number of your videos and honestly it is the video of this nature that is a little off the beaten path but gives straight up no BS information and an honest personal opinion that had me just hit the subscribe button. Making videos that covers relevant products and topics relating to rimfires that others are not covering in depth is exactly what we need, not just another rehash that is saying the same thing as 20 other channels. This ammo seems excellent for close in quiet varmint/pest control and we all know how something shoots or groups out of one rifle may mean little when shot out of a different platform. The Henry or really any .22lr lever action and these ammo's at 25yards and less for smaller critter control seems like a match made for each other if noise has a bearing on your shooting location. Also should be able to pretty easily with the lighter tension bolt return springs available be able to tune a 10/22 to cycle the pretty reliably also. For non match everyday .22lr plinking and field hunting ammo CCI is hard to beat overall for performance/cost.
Appreciate the info Buffalo!! I guess I should have been using paper when I was testing. Have extensively played around with the CCI CB shorts. I think they're actually a little quieter then the CCI Quiets. Can regularly connect at 40 yards with its 29 grain bullet. That's single loading them in an AR7 autoloader. They run extremely well out of my Rossi pump that's designed for 22 short. The CCI Quiets have been tougher to find in my area. The CCI CBs are fine for taking care of problem rabbits in the Garden. The CCI CB shorts will pass through half inch plywood at reasonable distances. For problem raccoons or foxes, if you're going to use 22LR, the new CCI Quiet 45 grain is probably the way to go. Appreciate all you do sir!!
I have a Henry h001 and 2 black Ruger Wranglers. I shoot the CCI 22 short copper-plated hollow points- Varmint 27grain-1105fps . Not much noise from them. And for a little more bang CCI Mini Mags 40 grain 1235 fps. I always thought the quiets were a little under powered out here in the country . Great vid , keep up the great work. ""Jeanie in Iowa""
I can attest to the effectiveness on squirrels. Those segmented hollow points will exploded in soft targets. I put one into a squirrels chest right under it's arm. There were three exit wounds on the other side. Very handy and reasonable accuracy for close range small game hunting.
I have a few bricks of the original Quiets and a brick of Semi Auto quiets. I LOVE shooting them out of my Henry h001 too!! The kids love them too...it is a great combo for new shooters...the Henry Lever and low noise...lots of fun. Great video by the way..one of your best
Very good video. Have used .40 gn for skunks and other varments since they came out. Does not disturb the neighbors at night. Welcome to the weather of northern MI.
Well, as they say, " you learn something new every day",..by this I mean, that I did not know that CCI had other types of the 'Quiet' .22 ammunition available. Main reason for this is because dealers around were I live in Canada, don't carry it. I do use the .22LR RN ammo. and enjoy it a lot for shooting at the Indoor Range I go oto. I'm looking forward now, to seeing your testing of this with your gel. blocks, this should be interesting to see too.
I love the setup... Legit the same as my setup. I always bring my lever action henry, My 15/22, and my bolt action .22 When I go out testing new ammo types👍 Great minds think alike!!! And I love how quiet these are. Try them with a linear compensator on the muzzle. Amazing results!!!
Pretty comprehensive test to be honest. Also great shooting as usual. Hitting 110 yards with such a major holdover is no joke. Hope you stay warm. I've heard you southern guys are sensitive to the cold. 🤣 I am kidding of course. At my age I'm sensitive to the cold and I've lived my whole life up north. Take it easy man, and be safe out there. 😎
Great video! I like the CCI Quiet .22LR original load. I’ve got an old Savage Westpoint .22 bolt action with a bull barrel. I think it’s a 20 inch barrel. Have to measure it to be sure but it’s my dedicated Quiet .22 LR shooter. It shoots them tight in one hole groups at about 25 yards like your bolt gun did and I use those rounds to dispatch varmints in my yard and keep noise low for the neighbors. Those rounds work surprisingly well at close ranges.
I knew the Henry was coming out for this video. I use these on raccoons up close. I don’t know anyone in my area that is hunting raccoons in my area. So I have many, great video Buffalo!
Great little rounds! I've used these for quiet shooting at a small indoor range when they were cheap. My favorite quieter ammo has been CCI's 40 grain Subsonic hollow points. They're definitely not as quiet as any of these at a rated 1050 fps, but I trust them more for clean shots on small game, and they're still quiet enough that taking a few shots outdoor doesn't bother my ears. As far as for quiet .22 pistols, I love Aguila's Super Colibrís, but I don't think I'd use them for anything more than quiet plinking.
I have been using this ammo a good bit here on the farm and I concur with everything mentioned here. For what it is and is advertised as I find it fun ammo to shoot.
Man, great video! If I could like it twice I would. Once for the content, and once for your commentary. I love the quiets and CB shorts for back yard plinking with Paw-paw's Winchester 67a bolt action. Haven't gotten to try the other flavors yet.
I agree 100% with you buf on suppressors. Also the saying at the end of your videos is just exactly what america is about and we all need to know it and preach it..
This channel is solid gold man! That weed eater string idea is excellent. I bought some quiet.22 LR rounds before the pandemic to play around with but I haven’t shot them because well heck I don’t think I could find them again if I did.
The "truly" quiet round is the Aquila "Colibri" and "Super Colibri". Of course, they recommend them for pistol only, but I have used them in bolt action rifles with no issue. They are primer only and actually will take game with a head shot.
I don't know why you guys don't just go to PCP airguns with suppressors on them at that point. I get that they are a little pricey to start off with, but ammo is cheap, and they are actually more accurate than this .22 ammo which has pretty poor extreme spreads and standard deviations compared to a good airgun. You can suppress them without permission from government because they aren't firearms too.
Nice!!! I use CB Longs in a 24" Mossberg bolt gun. (29 grains) NO noise. Accurate at 50 feet. Just breaks through the back of a 3/4" plywood board at 50 feet. No wild shots or squibs. Very quiet and accurate in a 5" revolver. Your semi auto ammo was noticeably noisier. But the bbl was 16".
Buffalo's channel is one of a couple that feels like a friend telling it to me straight and I don't leave feeling like I've been conned. I appreciate your videos.
Yes he reminds me of my cousin’s from Tennessee.
Damn good description.
@@ibpositivemostly7437 funny you say that. I live in Tennessee! Lol.
Excellent tip on the weed trimmer string. Thanks for teaching an old dog a new trick.
Fascinating tests. I was surprised how much drop at 50 yards there was.
They do have a steep trajectory. I'd imagine it gets a lot more dramatic beyond 50! I ALWAYS appreciate you stopping in!
They drop at 10 yards. I’ve shot shorts and longs along side SV and high velocity out of revolvers, and they drop a fair amount at 10 yards
Hi jeff!
Love the "ODs Gendershow" hoodie!

Thanks for the comparison, very educational! Those quiet 22s are great in the backyard without bothering the neighbors ;-)

In my Winchester 94 .22 which had a 21 or 22 inch barrel (I cant check because I no longer have it) I found even the CCI HP 1050 FPS was almost as quiet as my suppressed 12 inch Ruger 10/22 (I live in England and our minimum barrel length is 11.75 inches) so I never bothered to put a suppressor on it.
Just watched this one, and Part II, today, but no sooner than I watched them back to back, I had some tree trimming to do. Now I'm back, and want to comment.
Thanks for this two-part series, Buffalo. It was *very* helpful. I'm wanting to upgrade from an air rifle to deal with squirrels in my pecan tree, but I live within city limits. So I was thinking quiet ammo in a 10/22 carbine.
Some time back I bought some boxes of the Aguila Colibrí rounds ( the "regulars" at 420 fps, not the Super ones) and have used them on rats and possums. (We may live in the city, but we keep chickens and quail and rabbits and garden.) The Colibrí rounds are no louder than a cap gun, and worked okay on rats, but took a couple of rounds to dispatch a possum (those varmints have a tough hide). BTW, I fired those rounds through a Ruger Wrangler from around 6' away..
So I started searching for info/videos on quiet ammo with some actual gunpowder in the casing. I knew about CCI Quiets, so I started my search with that. And, Lo! And Behold! Buffalo came through for me. I was thinking of using the Quiet-22 stuff in a 10/22 carbine, so I'll probably go with some of the Semi-Auto version. Thanks for this.
This was a nice fun to watch & very informative video that is very enjoyable to see. I haven’t got the segmented version yet, I had a chance to but decided the other two are plenty for us(my sons & I). The semi auto run well in everything we have & are very accurate for $5 a box of 50. The 710fps quiet we have found runs well in my CZ 457 28” Jaguar 1/2x28, 1976 Remington 572 pump, 1968 Wards Westerfield 87a, 1949 Remington 550-1 and of course my revolvers. Your chrono data is very informative & helpful. Thanks for your work here. Nice to know passing on the segment variety wasn’t a poor decision. The semi auto is really good(my go to) especially for our older match pistols, it runs flawlessly! It’s fun out of our 1982 Marlin model 60, 1943 Winchester 74, & Ruger 10/22. We agree, freedom is the greater good!
Love what you stand for brother be blessed!!!
I alternate between the quiet 22LR and 22 short CB with my Henry for rodent control or plinking. They both have similar sound levels and velocities; aside from 40gr vs 29 gr., they pretty much perform the same way for what I use them for. Excellent video!
Great job as usual , Rain or shine (or snow) you are consistent and precise. Thank You , Good Luck to You and Yours.
Not only was this informative, it was really well organized and done. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
You're spot on concerning gun law b.s. Also you're commentary is noteworthy. Thanks for a great video.
I too like the CCI Quiet for the same reason. Less obvious evening or night time dispatch of pest. I find they are quieter than my my FX Dreamline PCP air rifle (we are not allowed suppressors even on air rifles in Canada). Great video and look forward to the ballistic gel tests.
Keep up with your down to earth observations, I enjoy your posts.
The video felt like it was made for me 🤣 when you mentioned that it might not be so popular I was like... I’m loving this video!!
Been watching a number of your videos and honestly it is the video of this nature that is a little off the beaten path but gives straight up no BS information and an honest personal opinion that had me just hit the subscribe button.
Making videos that covers relevant products and topics relating to rimfires that others are not covering in depth is exactly what we need, not just another rehash that is saying the same thing as 20 other channels.
This ammo seems excellent for close in quiet varmint/pest control and we all know how something shoots or groups out of one rifle may mean little when shot out of a different platform.
The Henry or really any .22lr lever action and these ammo's at 25yards and less for smaller critter control seems like a match made for each other if noise has a bearing on your shooting location.
Also should be able to pretty easily with the lighter tension bolt return springs available be able to tune a 10/22 to cycle the pretty reliably also.
For non match everyday .22lr plinking and field hunting ammo CCI is hard to beat overall for performance/cost.
Another great video, Buffalo. Agree 100% with your position on NFA items and refuse to get one for now also. Keep up the good work.
The REALEST guntuber on the net!
I really enjoy the “quiet rounds”. Thanks for the video!
Very nice. Great thought and effort went into this. THANK YOU
Appreciate the info Buffalo!! I guess I should have been using paper when I was testing. Have extensively played around with the CCI CB shorts. I think they're actually a little quieter then the CCI Quiets. Can regularly connect at 40 yards with its 29 grain bullet. That's single loading them in an AR7 autoloader. They run extremely well out of my Rossi pump that's designed for 22 short. The CCI Quiets have been tougher to find in my area. The CCI CBs are fine for taking care of problem rabbits in the Garden. The CCI CB shorts will pass through half inch plywood at reasonable distances. For problem raccoons or foxes, if you're going to use 22LR, the new CCI Quiet 45 grain is probably the way to go. Appreciate all you do sir!!
Great video. I really like the quiets. Great comparison. Excellent advice on the weedeater string. I'll add that to my kit.
I have a Henry h001 and 2 black Ruger Wranglers. I shoot the CCI 22 short copper-plated hollow points-
Varmint 27grain-1105fps . Not much noise from them. And for a little more bang CCI Mini Mags 40 grain
1235 fps. I always thought the quiets were a little under powered out here in the country .
Great vid , keep up the great work. ""Jeanie in Iowa""
Solid information, thanks. I also shoot all the three of those in various rifles and a glock .22 conversion kit, and I am very pleased with it.
Excellent VDO as always - Thank you!
Thanks for another great informative video Buffalo. I’m going to have to pick up some of the CCI Quiets. They should work well in my Marlin 39s.
Interesting video Buffalo, always look forward to your posts.
I can attest to the effectiveness on squirrels. Those segmented hollow points will exploded in soft targets. I put one into a squirrels chest right under it's arm. There were three exit wounds on the other side. Very handy and reasonable accuracy for close range small game hunting.
I have a few bricks of the original Quiets and a brick of Semi Auto quiets. I LOVE shooting them out of my Henry h001 too!! The kids love them too...it is a great combo for new shooters...the Henry Lever and low noise...lots of fun.
Great video by the way..one of your best
Thanks Buff, another great video! Really enjoy your channel alot.
Very good video. Have used .40 gn for skunks and other varments since they came out. Does not disturb the neighbors at night. Welcome to the weather of northern MI.
Thank you Buffalo for sharing.
Jim
What a cheap good idea with the weeder string.
Well, as they say, " you learn something new every day",..by this I mean, that I did not know that CCI had other types of the 'Quiet' .22 ammunition available. Main reason for this is because
dealers around were I live in Canada, don't carry it. I do use the .22LR RN ammo. and enjoy it a lot for shooting at the Indoor Range I go oto.
I'm looking forward now, to seeing your testing of this with your gel. blocks, this should be interesting to see too.
Voglio la traduzione in italiano
I love the setup... Legit the same as my setup. I always bring my lever action henry, My 15/22, and my bolt action .22 When I go out testing new ammo types👍 Great minds think alike!!! And I love how quiet these are. Try them with a linear compensator on the muzzle. Amazing results!!!
That was an excellent review Mr B.O. Thank You.
Great video, I've never heard of this ammunition before very interesting
Pretty comprehensive test to be honest. Also great shooting as usual. Hitting 110 yards with such a major holdover is no joke.
Hope you stay warm. I've heard you southern guys are sensitive to the cold. 🤣
I am kidding of course. At my age I'm sensitive to the cold and I've lived my whole life up north. Take it easy man, and be safe out there. 😎
Excellent Video, Thanks Brother Buffalo.
Wow! I'm really late to the party. But glad to be here. Another great review like only Buffalo can do! Now I can watch the gel tests😉
Great video!
I like the CCI Quiet .22LR original load. I’ve got an old Savage Westpoint .22 bolt action with a bull barrel. I think it’s a 20 inch barrel. Have to measure it to be sure but it’s my dedicated Quiet .22 LR shooter. It shoots them tight in one hole groups at about 25 yards like your bolt gun did and I use those rounds to dispatch varmints in my yard and keep noise low for the neighbors. Those rounds work surprisingly well at close ranges.
I knew the Henry was coming out for this video. I use these on raccoons up close. I don’t know anyone in my area that is hunting raccoons in my area. So I have many, great video Buffalo!
Great little rounds! I've used these for quiet shooting at a small indoor range when they were cheap. My favorite quieter ammo has been CCI's 40 grain Subsonic hollow points. They're definitely not as quiet as any of these at a rated 1050 fps, but I trust them more for clean shots on small game, and they're still quiet enough that taking a few shots outdoor doesn't bother my ears. As far as for quiet .22 pistols, I love Aguila's Super Colibrís, but I don't think I'd use them for anything more than quiet plinking.
Those CCI sub HPs shoot really well out of my 457 Jaguar
@@theunforgivenpuritan4102 just looked that rifle up since I'd never heard of it - very beautiful.
@@cristianespinal9917 i love the long barrel and long sight radius. It has been a joy
Colibri 300 fps Super 500 fps.... Super will kill squirrel with head shot
I love the cci segmented hollow point, that thing is great for nuisance animals.
Squibs are probably responsible for more injuries than anything other than just carelessness.
I have been using this ammo a good bit here on the farm and I concur with everything mentioned here. For what it is and is advertised as I find it fun ammo to shoot.
Sounds like a quiet riot on those targets over there!!! Good idea with the weed eater string.
That's a nice looking hoodie! "Nobody is coming!" Good review and very helpful. Ill pick some up IF I can find any.
In Russia we like Buffalo's Outdoors channel, greetings from Russian hunters and good luck!!!!🙂
What nice property you have. I hope your family can inherit it and keep it free! Thank you!
Man, great video! If I could like it twice I would. Once for the content, and once for your commentary. I love the quiets and CB shorts for back yard plinking with Paw-paw's Winchester 67a bolt action. Haven't gotten to try the other flavors yet.
Nice video Buffalo! The original quiets are my favorite too. I have never tried the segmented quiet bullet and you just saved the the trouble. 😁
I agree 100% with you buf on suppressors. Also the saying at the end of your videos is just exactly what america is about and we all need to know it and preach it..
This channel is solid gold man! That weed eater string idea is excellent. I bought some quiet.22 LR rounds before the pandemic to play around with but I haven’t shot them because well heck I don’t think I could find them again if I did.
The "truly" quiet round is the Aquila "Colibri" and "Super Colibri". Of course, they recommend them for pistol only, but I have used them in bolt action rifles with no issue. They are primer only and actually will take game with a head shot.
I tried in my Henry pump colibri was irresponsibly inaccurate from it. Too weak to ethically hunt larger than a rat
Tried the colibri in my cz 455, the bullets got stuck half way every time. So i guess its dependant on the rifle and barrel if they work.
I don't know why you guys don't just go to PCP airguns with suppressors on them at that point. I get that they are a little pricey to start off with, but ammo is cheap, and they are actually more accurate than this .22 ammo which has pretty poor extreme spreads and standard deviations compared to a good airgun. You can suppress them without permission from government because they aren't firearms too.
Nice!!! I use CB Longs in a 24" Mossberg bolt gun. (29 grains) NO noise. Accurate at 50 feet. Just breaks through the back of a 3/4" plywood board at 50 feet. No wild shots or squibs. Very quiet and accurate in a 5" revolver. Your semi auto ammo was noticeably noisier. But the bbl was 16".
Thanks for making this great video and thanks again for reminding me how bad of a shot I am. Impressive shooting as always
