WTB 22WMR ammo and 22 Hornet ammo and reloading equipment

Look for subsonic 22wmr in particle and all 22hornet ammo and reloading dies

I'm afraid subsonic 22wmr and 22 hornet is an oxymoron.

They don’t make subsonic 22 hornet but the dies anre almost exactly the same as 22WMR. As far as subsonic 22WMR Winchester made a target round with a muzzle velocity of 1000fps which is subsonic. I know a guy with several boxes of it

I was unaware of these. They must be hard to find. But why would you pay for 22 WMR rounds (which are double the cost of LR) when you could send the same pay load at the same velocity out of a 22 LR which is half the price. What's the advantage of a magnum at LR velocity? The only thing I can think of is if you don't own a LR. But than my question is, why don't you, their fun.

Thats a good question! I did some reading and you can actually get a 60gr 22lr subsonic and the heaviest 22wmr they make is only 50gr and it’s hypersonic. I guess I need to go that route instead. Thanks for the input!

LOL 45 Grain 22 Win Mag... I don't see the point. You can do that with an airgun all day and don't need tax stamp for the suppressor...

Most 22cal air rifles are a lot louder than a subsonic 22 single shot with a good fuel filter

Slightly off topic, but I have never actually seen anyone reload rimfire. It would be cool to see your setup if you ever wanted to post about the process.

I have never done it either but I have been reading a lot about it on some other reloading forms. From what I understand you can’t buy the brass or bullets so people are pulling the bullets out and adding or subtracting powder. The key it to use a brass spacer between the casing and plate as to not contact the rim/primer. Seems to be sketchy business

Not to mention DANGEROUS!
