More Information on CCI .22 Long Rifle Ammo
CCI Suppressor MAX .22 Long Rifle is a purpose-built rimfire cartridge developed specifically for shooters using suppressed firearms. Unlike many traditional subsonic .22 LR loads that simply prioritize low noise, Suppressor MAX was engineered from the ground up to combine exceptionally quiet performance with reliable function and consistent terminal performance. Featuring a heavy 45-grain Mini-Mag Segmented Hollow Point (SHP) bullet, this innovative load is designed to remain subsonic while delivering the dependable accuracy and cycling performance that shooters have come to expect from CCI rimfire ammunition.
The heart of the 22SMX cartridge is its proprietary 45-grain segmented hollow point projectile. Unlike conventional hollow point bullets that may require higher velocities to expand consistently, CCI specifically engineered this bullet to segment reliably at its subsonic velocity. Upon impact with appropriate media, the bullet is designed to separate into multiple sections while maintaining effective penetration characteristics. This specialized design was created to provide dependable performance at lower velocities where many traditional rimfire hollow points fail to expand as intended.
CCI loads the Suppressor MAX to a published muzzle velocity of 970 feet per second, ensuring the projectile remains comfortably below the speed of sound under typical conditions. By staying subsonic, the load eliminates the supersonic crack produced by higher-velocity rimfire ammunition, allowing shooters using suppressors to experience significantly reduced report. The heavier 45-grain bullet also helps retain momentum while producing approximately 94 foot-pounds of muzzle energy at the muzzle. According to CCI’s published data, the bullet retains velocities of approximately 906 fps at 50 yards and 852 fps at 100 yards, providing consistent downrange performance.
A distinguishing feature of Suppressor MAX is its ability to cycle semi-automatic firearms while maintaining subsonic performance. Many ultra-quiet rimfire loads sacrifice reliability because of their reduced operating pressure, but CCI specifically engineered this cartridge to function in a wide range of semi-automatic rifles and pistols without requiring the higher velocities of conventional high-velocity ammunition. The load is also safe for use with modern rimfire suppressors and was designed specifically to complement suppressed shooting platforms.
Manufactured with CCI’s premium-quality brass cases, clean-burning propellants, and dependable rimfire priming, Suppressor MAX maintains the consistency that has made Mini-Mag ammunition one of the industry’s most trusted rimfire product lines. Each box contains 100 rounds, providing ample ammunition for extended range sessions without frequent reloading.
Whether you’re enjoying recreational target shooting, practicing with a suppressed rimfire rifle, or seeking an exceptionally quiet shooting experience, CCI Suppressor MAX 45 Grain Mini-Mag Segmented Hollow Point offers an innovative combination of low-decibel performance, reliable cycling, and purpose-built projectile technology. Designed specifically for modern suppressor users, the 22SMX represents a new generation of rimfire ammunition optimized for quiet operation without compromising consistency or reliability.
