Ok guys keep the list of rounds you want tested coming!
I've done my research and am contacting rental companies first thing in the morning to acquire the necessary equipment. I've settled on a Bruel and Kjaer 2209 Impulse response sound level meter with a 1/4inch microphone, calibrated for...
Exactly! I made sure to add that to my initial post. I wore ear protection the whole time conducting these tests, however I did fire a few rounds with no protection using the Aguila Super Colibri round, and it is seriously quiet.
Unfortunately no bolt action .22, although I do have a pistol chambered .22 that also might be interesting to test the difference in. should be much louder in the pistol. I'll see if I can find any friends with a bolt action for the next test.
thanks,

Please if all of you want to give a list of rounds you'd like to test, I'd be glad to test them all and report back with a video as well. I think im going to rent some fancy schmancy equipment to really test with precision accuracy as well, so Id be glad to do something like this.
Thanks,

Krogen, I am aware of the necessities of an impulse response type meter to measure gunfire accurately, that being said, my meter is digital which helps a bit because the analog type meters are rarely capable of picking up fast response times. the meter was set to peak on the A weighted setting...

Aguila super Colibri Sub-Sonic...20Grains 500FPS primer only.
Aguila SSS...60Grains 950FPS
CCI Green Tag...40Grains 1070FPS
The results are quite shocking and impressive in my opinion, and thought I should...
hahah excellent point! Well I hope they dont do that anytime soon, as this is not a round I stock a whole lot of...I think i paid $4 for 50 rounds of the aguila lol...I know the cci quiet is supposed to be around 68db at the ears, but the colibri has to be damn close, around 70db or so at the...
Hey all, I only recently picked up my 15-22 and decided I'd like to shoot it. I made it out to my buddies very large piece of land and had a go with the Aguila Super Colibri.
Obviously the bullets don't have much range or accuracy, but I was having a blast shooting, even while cycling each...
The mag follower is blue...Is that not normal haha?
And yes, I need many many more mags :-D...Still gotta do some round testing and see what works best as well, then massive amounts of ammo will follow!

Only reason I reposted and asked instead of sifting through the picture threads is that the hundreds of pages can often be tedious work to go through, and I also wanted...
