The Hailey/Savage rig proved to be the quietest rifle in the world. 22plinkster has different results with the Volquartsen semi-automatic rifle. Match-grade accuracy with 40 to 45-grain loads made up for the disappointment. 22 Short case clears the chamber edge too early in the extraction process, and some residual pressure remains in the bore.Īlthough the rifle cycled well, it was not a good fit for the cartridge despite high expectations. It was a surprise to me that the more competent shooter - 22plinkster - and the ammunition for which it was optimized, gave no better than 3MOA and a rather sharply audible “pop” from the ejection port. The VQ rifle was earlier tested with CCI 40-grain subsonics, producing 1MOA, or slightly better, and very quiet report. Aguila Sniper Subsonic ammunition is incredibly quiet when used with a suppressor. CMMG and Ceiner conversion kits used with AR-15 uppers produce decent accuracy.Ĭuriously, some rimfire pistols shoot it quite accurately as well.įor testing Aguila Sniper Subsonic ammunition, I had two rifles made with 1:9 barrels: a Volquartsen semi-auto used with a Gemtech G5-22 suppressor on the muzzle, and a Savage Mark II bolt-action with a Hailey Ordnance integrally-suppressed barrel. If not stabilized, the bullet would tumble right out of the muzzle and could damage suppressor baffles.Īccuracy of an under-stabilized bullet of this length is non-existent.

There’s a catch, the bullet is too long to stabilize properly in the typical 1:16 twist rimfire rifle barrels. 22 Short casing to provide space for the elongated. 32 ACP bullet of the same weight, it retains about the same velocity at 100 yards thanks to the greater sectional density.
