I picked up a brick to test. It’s got a 50gr LRN bullet moving at 1025fps which honestly surprised me a little bit based on the weight of the bullet.

Test it and let us know what turns up. That Aguila 60 grain stuff has a lot of issues. The longer projectile isn't stabilized by most 1/16 twist barrels. It's known to keyhole. Also at least one if not more than one suppressor company do not suggest using it.

I am curious as to how this stuff performs out of a pistol and a rifle and what the accuracy is. Range report requested [BD]

I couldn’t tell an audible difference in the rifle shot (suppressed wise...all were quiet). I’ll try to shoot it further within a week or so.

Rifle: Marlin XT-22R (22” threaded barrel)
Suppressor: Innovative Arms Apex .22

I shot several times unsuppressed to test for stabilization, and happy that nothing seemed amiss, I commenced testing.

I shot the Shoot and See targets first but the edges weren’t crisp so I drew a quick dot with a sharpie and repeated the course of fire below.

At this range, I think it shot better from my rifle than CCI SV (very small sample and rudimentary test...two five round groups at 25yds) but I imagine CCI SV will edge it out at a distance due to bullet weight and velocity

The AE “Suppressor” ammo has always been clean and quiet but not very precise. Better than Remington GB’s I guess

I shot five rounds each of the above through my 1911-.22 at 7 yards. The CCI SV and HUSH were both similar in terms of accuracy with the AE being the worst. The CCI and AE had no noticeable blowback...the HUSH had a fair amount in my face. Not a huge deal but it might be a turn off to some

No cycling issues suppressed or unsuppressed to report at this time
