hpfiend Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hey all- Was looking at .22LR with stinger ammo with option to shoot subsonics and shorts. I was wondering how much louder a .22 WMR or .17 HMR would sound in comparison to the .22lr for more variety of varmint control and better knock down. Are .22 WMR and .17 HMR rounds available in subsonic? I could not find them on cheaper than dirt but I am new to this. I did find a chart of centerfire cartridge decibels and they all looked about the same around 156-160 db depending on barrel length and caliber. I know decibels are a log scale though so a small difference is actually a lot. Thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 you could go through all the paper work and get a sound supressor and not wake the baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I know of no such .17hmr round or .22wmr round that comes loaded sub-sonic. What are you trying to do exactly? For what it's worth, I think the .17hmr is one of the greatest rounds ever invented, and absolutely LOVE mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I've never heard of anything, and hand-loads for a rimfire are well-nigh impossible (not completely and utterly, but it might as well be. BTW Cheaper Than Dirt.....not the best place to buy ANYTHING from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 For what it's worth, I think the .17hmr is one of the greatest rounds ever invented, and absolutely LOVE mine. completly agree my savage 93 in .17hmr is one of my favorite fuck the noise and just get one :bangbang: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k204/stangsn95gt/100_0916.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) AJ, that's funny ;-) See you there- I hope it doesn't rain! I plan to use it to take care of groundhogs, coyotes, racoon, and skunk at my dad's farm. Austin do you also have a savage 93 .17? Thanks!

RedRocket1647545505 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Austin do you also have a savage 93 .17? Thanks! Andrew Yesum. 93r17 BVSS to be exact. Just ordered a Mueller Eradicator for it as well for the upcoming varmint massacre I will be orchistrating in New Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 My revolver shoots .22lr and .22wmr or mag. Come to the range with me and you can shoot it if you buy the mag ammo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
