Gemtech Subsonic 22LR 42gr Lead Round Nose Ammunition 50rd Box

The Gemtech Subsonic 22LR ammunition delivers consistent performance for suppressed shooting applications. This 42-grain lead round nose cartridge maintains velocities below the sound barrier while providing reliable cycling in most firearms.

What Makes This Different

This subsonic ammunition generates velocities around 1,050 feet per second, staying well below the 1,125 fps sound barrier threshold. The 42-grain lead round nose projectile provides excellent stability and accuracy while minimizing sonic crack. Standard velocity 22LR ammunition typically exceeds 1,200 fps, creating audible sonic booms that defeat the purpose of suppressor use.

Key Features

• 42-grain lead round nose bullet optimized for subsonic velocities
• Consistent powder charge maintains reliable semi-automatic cycling
• Velocity stays below 1,125 fps sound barrier threshold
• Clean-burning powder reduces fouling in suppressed firearms
• Standard rimfire priming ensures reliable ignition
• 50-round packaging provides convenient range quantities
• Compatible with all 22LR chamber firearms

This ammunition excels in training scenarios where noise reduction is critical. The subsonic velocity eliminates the sharp crack associated with supersonic projectiles, making it ideal for backyard plinking where noise ordinances apply. Competitive shooters appreciate the consistent velocities for precision work, while the lead projectile construction provides effective terminal performance on small game.
