    I have a CZ 22 magnum and find CCI maxi mag +v 30 grain very accurate and good on foxes out to 120 yards!

    thakns for the info is there a wide variety available eg..subsonic etc

    There's no subsonic ammo for the 22magnum.

    remington 40gr are a good choice as are cci 30 gr

    50gr seem to be a bit heavy and group horribly

    TBH there is little point to having a sub-sonic version of a cartridge that had been designed to be faster in the first place.

    If you want a sub-sonic .22, then stick to any .22LR - many will shoot ANY type of .22LR ammunition you care to put throught it, fast, slow or standard velocity.
