CCI 2R40LFN Subsonic .22 LR ammunition delivers reliable small-game performance at below-sonic speeds. Built on consistent CCI primers and brass, this 40-grain lead flat-nose load is engineered to expand on impact without fragmenting, making it a smart choice for hunters and shooters who need effective terminal performance with reduced noise. Whether you're hunting rabbits, squirrels, or other small game on your own property or a controlled range, subsonic .22 rounds let you work quietly while maintaining the stopping power you need.

The flat-nose bullet profile and subsonic velocity make this load particularly suited to suppressed firearms, where the combination achieves hearing-safe levels and minimal report. That quieter signature doesn't mean compromised lethality—the bullet design is built to expand reliably across typical small-game shooting distances, giving you confidence in quick, clean kills without the blast and blast damage to hearing that comes with standard-velocity ammo.

CCI has been loading .22 LR ammunition since the 1950s, and their rimfire consistency is hard to beat. Each box of 100 rounds arrives loaded to their quality standard, and a 50-box case gives you a practical supply for regular practice and hunting without the hassle of frequent restocking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between subsonic and standard .22 LR ammunition?

Subsonic .22 LR travels at velocities below the speed of sound (approximately 1,125 feet per second), producing significantly less noise and blast than standard-velocity rounds. This quieter report is especially beneficial when shooting suppressed firearms, allowing you to achieve hearing-safe noise levels. Standard-velocity ammo travels faster and louder, making it suitable for longer-range work where audible feedback is less of a concern.

Will subsonic .22 ammunition work reliably in my rifle?

CCI subsonic loads are designed with consistent primers and brass to ensure reliable feeding and ignition. However, some semi-automatic firearms may require the additional velocity of standard-velocity ammunition to cycle the action properly. If you're shooting a bolt-action or semi-auto .22, test a small batch first to confirm reliable feeding and function before committing to a full case.

What small game is this ammunition suitable for?

The 40-grain flat-nose bullet is engineered for small-game hunting, including rabbits, squirrels, and similar-sized targets. The expanding bullet design delivers reliable terminal performance at the distances typical for this type of hunting, providing quick, ethical kills without fragmenting.

What's included in a 50-box case?

Each case contains 50 boxes of CCI 2R40LFN ammunition, with 100 rounds per box, giving you a total of 5,000 rounds. This bulk quantity is practical for regular hunters and shooters who want a reliable supply without frequent reordering.
