I've got some of the Remington subsonic & also the Aguila SSS (60 grain heavy
bullet subsonic). Not really sure that either is all that much quieter than
a standard .22LR round in an unsuppressed weapon. Now in my scoped, AWC
suppressed Ruger MkII pistol, however...<smile>. The Remington subsonic is
nicely quieter than the standard stuff. It sounds barely louder than an air
gun. Not objectionable to the neighbors at all.
Enjoy!
