Anyone know what the fps is for the round?
I'm getting low on them and the fps will allow me to search for something close for my 10/22. Without getting into match ammo, the Remington Subsonics provided the best accuracy. Wish they Rem subsonics were still being produced.

It's on the side of the box, but I had to use a bright light and magnifying glass to read it.
Edit: These are subsonic .22 long rifle hollow point. That's what I have. I don't know if they made a subsonic regular round point or not, or what your shooting.
The lowest velocity, conventional 22 LR's. Were Winchester Wildcats and Aguila Standard Velocities. I believe this was because, slower burning powder was used in these cartridges. Functioned OK, in longer barreled semiauto handguns. And .22 AR conversion units. Not so much in handguns with barrels less than 5".
38 gr bullet, 1050 FPS at the muzzle and 900 fps at 100 yards with -7.7" below line of site at 100 yards when sited in at 50 yards.

The ammo data marked on boxes of .22 ammo. Is based on the muzzle velocity from a 18" rifle barrel. I always figure 15% less velocity, from a 4+ barreled handgun.
1050 FPS would cross over to, approximately 900 FPS from a handgun. Depending on the burning rate of the powder. As I noted in my previous post.

I didn't have a chronograph but I did penetration test into phone books using different .22 ammo through a 6" H&R revolver and a Winchester 67A rifle, shorts, CB's, long rifle. I can tell you there's a big difference.
got a 1000 rounds. have yet to shoot it. hopefully is better than thunderduds.
Remington changed the bullet composition, of the Thunderbolts awhile back. They don't foul the barrels with lead deposits, like the old ones did.
I have fired a bunch in the last year+, with no fouling problems. The old ones were so soft. They about plugged the barrels of my Advantage Arms conversion units, with pieces of lead.
They are loaded hot though. Never cronoed them. But they seem to have the same velocity, as the Golden Bullets.

Any target .22LR ammo should be solid and subsonic.
