.22 LR Subsonic Practice ammunition is typically loaded with 38–40 grain bullets at velocities below the speed of sound, generally around 1,000–1,050 fps, to eliminate the supersonic crack. These range ammo loads are often used for suppressed shooting, quiet range practice, and applications where reduced noise or suppressor use is desirable. Subsonic rimfire loads also tend to produce consistent recoil impulse and can offer improved accuracy in some firearms. Pricing usually runs slightly above bulk practice ammo due to lower production volumes and more specialized use cases. The products listed above include dedicated subsonic lines from major manufacturers, so daily price movement reflects the niche subsonic rimfire market.
