Hello everyone!
I have a problem…. For one to legally use a 22LR for hunting here in Sweden, the bullet needs to produce at least 111 ft-lbs at the muzzle.
Since I`m going to mount a suppressor to my CZ 453 Lux, I would really like to use subsonic ammunition for hunting.
The problem is that I can`t find any factory made subsonic 22LR that will deliver 111 ft-lbs at the muzzle, except Aguila Sniper Subsonic but it`s more likely that I`ll find a Sasquatch riding a unicorn before finding a dealer in Sweden that sells Aguila Sniper Subsonic.
If my calculations are correct, I would need to push a 50gr bullet at 1050 fps to reach 111 ft-lbs.
I would gladly buy for example CCI Standard 22.LR ammunition and carefuly remove the bullet and powder to obtain “primed brass”.
Does anyone know of a bullet mold that would produce heeld 22.bullets (50gr) that would work in a 22LR?
What powder should I use? Would some of Vihtavuoris powder work?
I think I will need a tool to set the bullet in the unfired cases?
Any tips or thoughts?
Thank you very much!
