Eley Contact Subsonic Features The Eley Contact Subsonic is engineered specifically to function reliably in semi-automatic .22 LR firearms a category where many subsonic loads struggle to generate enough energy to cycle the action. Traveling at a subsonic velocity of 1085 feet per second this load keeps report and recoil noticeably lower than standard-velocity .22 LR ammunition making it more pleasant to shoot through extended range sessions. The 42 grain lead solid round nose bullet is heavier than many standard .22 LR projectiles which helps it retain more energy as it travels downrange toward the target. This combination of subsonic velocity and increased bullet weight makes the Contact Subsonic well suited for small game hunting where a clean effective shot matters. Each bullet is coated in paraffin wax a detail that helps reduce fouling buildup in the barrel and action over extended shooting sessions. This coating also contributes to smoother cycling and more consistent function in semi-automatic platforms addressing one of the more common complaints with subsonic rimfire ammunition. Reliable function paired with reduced noise makes this load a practical choice for hunters working in areas where noise discipline matters. For shooters looking for a dependable semi-auto friendly subsonic .22 LR load for hunting or quiet range practice the Eley Contact Subsonic is available for sale at GrabAGun.
