Best suppressor ammo for .22LR
I took my new Sparrow out today for the first time. Bought 5000 rounds of American Eagle suppressor ammo and 2 boxes (100 count) of Winchester Suppressor ammo. Both are CPRN and subsonic. I shot approx 200 rounds of the American Eagle ammo and the gun looked relatively clean. Once I switched to the Winchester however, I noticed the gun got dirty very quickly. After about 40 rounds of Winchester ammo, I could only fire 1 round at a time because the gun would not cycle from all of the carbon. That will be the last time I use Winchester "suppressor" ammo through the gun.
Curious what type of ammo people use with the criteria being:
-ammo must be subsonic
-ammo should run clean (I have a Ruger 22/45, which was purchased about 2 months before the push button takedown version came out. Am thinking of upgrading to that now)The USA is now a banana republic. Only without the bananas....or the Republic.

Re: Best suppressor ammo for .22LR
If you have a 4" or less barrel standard velocity ammo is usually subsonic. I shoot bulk pack ammo out of my firefly (sig mosquito) without a sonic crack. I keep the subsonic stuff for my rifle. In those I use Winchester or Remington subsonic, I dont worry about plated bullets as I dont believe subsonic ammo leads the can like supers do

I'll echo CCI Standard. Runs great, shoots clean (for rimfire anyway).
I just love shooting.

Re: Best suppressor ammo for .22LR
For everyone recommending CCI Standard, are you shooting this through a suppressor? Standard comes with leaded vs plated bullets, and this makes a mess of the suppressor.

Re: Best suppressor ammo for .22LR
Why should it make a mess of the suppressor when the bullet does not make contact with the suppressor? 22lr in general will make a mess of your suppressor, from carbon.
