The Eley Contact Subsonic 22lr ammunition in 42-grain round nose configuration is purpose-built for shooters who demand suppressed fire capability without sacrificing reliability or consistency. Developed for semi-automatic .22 LR platforms, this subsonic load cycles reliably through modern tactical and sport rifles while maintaining a significantly reduced acoustic signature compared to standard velocity ammunition. Law enforcement and civilian operators rely on subsonic .22 LR for training, small-game hunting, and noise-sensitive shooting environments where hearing protection and stealth matter equally.
Each round features Eley's proven paraffin wax coating, which reduces bore fouling and enhances feeding reliability in semi-automatic actions—critical for subsonic loads that operate at lower velocities and increased risk of cycling failures. The 42-grain projectile weight and subsonic velocity design minimize recoil impulse and muzzle rise, allowing faster target reacquisition and better control during rapid-fire sequences. The round nose profile ensures consistent feeding and reliable chambering across a wide spectrum of .22 LR semi-auto firearms, from entry-level trainers to precision small-bore platforms.
This ammunition delivers maximum value for high-volume shooters, hunters working in noise-restricted areas, and tactical training programs where extended fire does not justify larger calibers. It pairs exceptionally well with integrally suppressed .22 LR rifles and is equally effective in unsuppressed semi-autos where subsonic velocity yields both practical hearing-safe levels and behavioral stealth benefits. Packed in 50-round boxes with 100-box cases per carton, Eley Contact Subsonic accommodates both individual shooters and range facilities. Compatible with all standard semi-automatic .22 LR rifles and carbines.
