    Saw them in Sporting rifle magazine from the UK and saw them on youtube. Doubt they can be got here. Cant even get the segmented subsonics or the cci "quiet .22 " so Id safely say theres 0 chance of getting them here. I could be wrong.

    Jesus - 60gr??.. that's a hefty lump out of a 22LR.

    Would be curious to try a box out myself if they were found.

    The cci quite ones can be got they are called cb long and have a mv of 710fps but i have a 5-6" group with them at 30 yards in my cz which means I don't use them The shop in monkstown has them. They are quieter without suppressor then the sub's are with a suppressor. Was out 1day with a friend who had a suppressor but I was much quieter . made no difference as I couldn't hit shi*e with them

    Hi pilatus,had a box or 2 a few years ago .
    Did not group well because of the slow .22lr 1/16 twist .
    Seemed to be using a .22 short as the case .
    Funny looking round with the head a long as the case .
    Regards,Tomcat.

    Thanks Tomcat. Well I suppose there's no point if they aren't as accurate as the cci subs. It is a nice idea however, a 22 cartridge with a projectile of similar weight to a 223 cartridge.

    Seemingly, you need the 1:9 barrel twist to achieve any sort of accuracy.

    There is a video on youtube of a lad testing those cb longs and the accuracy was rubbish, the target sheet looked like some had fired an ounce of bb at it from a shotgun at about 50 yards.
