CCI Segmented Hollow-Point Subsonic
CCI have renamed Quik-Shot as SHP (Segmented Hollow Point) and are now offering it as a subsonic round!
It will drive a 40 gr bullet at 1050 ft/s with 98 ft/lbs of energy! This is great news for me. I have been using Quik-Shot but since I use a suppressor subsonic is preferable.
CCI’s unique Segmented Hollow-Point (SHP) bullet is now available in 22 Win Mag and a 22 Long Rifle subsonic load. This offering is ideal for bigger targets that require a larger wound area and makes perfect sense in the 22 WMR. The flat-shooting SHP is designed to break up into three sections on impact for even more stopping power. These three segments diverge from the main path for unique terminal performance on game. The subsonic 22 LR offering is great when hunting around a populated area and a quiet, effective round is needed.

Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
I don’t understand the statement that it “makes perfect sense in the 22 WMR” since there is non difference between this round in 22LR or 22WMR once it leaves the barrel.
The only advantage to 22WMR is the increased velocity possible. If you’re using subsonic rounds, there’s no difference at all between the two.
Hi TheGunGeek, I probably did not make it clear in the post. They are offering a subsonic .22lr, supersonic .22lr and supersonic 22WMR.
A subsonic .22 WMR would be useful if it pushed a heavier bullet. A 60 gr subsonic bullet from a .22 WMR would be great, if it would stabilize.
Ah, yes, that would be nice. I’ve heard that there are a number of folks that “reload” 22WMR. They pull bullets, replace powder and often use new/different bullets. IIRC, there are companies making equipment to help in this effort since it’s not like normal reloading.
Now that I’ve got me a 22WMR again, I’ve been wanting to look into it.
thats interesting. I would very much like to try a very heavy subsonic bullet in a .22 wmr rifle. It would be great with a suppressor.
