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.

That HUSH round looks like 22 long. Didn't 22 long have a shorter case than long rifle but the same overall length?

Edit... the long and lr case is the same length, long projectile is shorter than lr

Stinger has a bit longer case than lr...

Cost me $45 shipped.

I’m gonna do some testing/comparing to other brands from my pistol and bolt gun tomorrow
 
I couldn’t tell an audible difference in the rifle shot. 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

Pistol test to come

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
 
Did you chrono it out of the Pistol? I am wondering if their spec’d velocity is rifle length and pistols will be maybe 925-950 FPS?
 
Looks like the Aguila 60gr. I'm tempted to buy the green mtn fast twist barrel to shoot those things.
 
One nice thing about the 60gr SSS is that it shoots to the same POI as the Aguila 40gr subsonic. So you can use the subsonic for practice. In my guns, the Aguila subsonic shoots just slightly better than CCI SV. It is my preferred round.

At what distance does it have the same POI? That likely changes fairly quickly with a projectile 150% of the weight of the first and 75fps slower
 
I sight my .22's at 17 yards. And rarely shoot beyond 50 yards. I don't remember any significant deviation in that range but I haven't shot the .22 rifle in a while. I do have a fast twist barrel (11.25 twist rate). Don't know if that makes a difference or not.
