Have you tried this ammo? (Winchester Super Suppressed)

[BamaBred]

I'm new to the 9mm suppressor game and I'm trying out different ammo. I bought two boxes in 9mm, but haven't shot it yet. I'm curious if it is quieter than my Fiocchi158. I have ears, but I don't have a meter. They make it in 9mm, 45ACP, 300BLK, and in 22LR (which is really just repackaged M22 subsonic).

Don’t pay a lot of money for hype. A 147gr or heavier projectile from a 9mm will be subsonic, regardless of packaging or brand. With .45 ACP it is 230gr or heavier.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not so sure that all 147 grain is created equal. I shot 147gr American Eagle and it was noticeably louder than the 147gr Fiocchi and Browning BPT 147gr. I wish I had a meter though.

It was a fad for a while for people to chase the lowest decibel ammo possible. Special K was king of the hill for quite a while, I've never tried it and I haven't seen any talk about it for quite a while. I think most of the people chasing Hollyweird quiet these days roll their own.

I'm really partial to 165 gr xtreme bullets loaded up with 2.8-3.0 gr of titegroup. More quiet than any other commercial or handload that I have ever tried.

Yeah, I heard someone mention Special K the other day. I'm not even sure it's being made anymore. I'm not worried about Hollywood quiet. I'm just a kid with a new toy and trying out different stuff. So far Fiocchi 158 is my favorite, but it's a little pricey for plinking.

I'm not a reloader. I lack both the desire and focus. I'd blow up something.

[doubloon]

By all means play.

Collect all your brass along the way then start reloading for a combination of quiet and cheap.

Instead of reloading I wait until there is a great deal and buy a truckload. Currently working thru 10K rounds of the fiocchi 158gr I bought 18 Months ago. Great stuff.
