ive not shot the subs but i have some of there colibres or whatever. they are a 20 gr. and are powderless so its just the power of the primer i guess. they shoot accurate and work great for shot range work like most anything in the yard. lol.

I use those aguila Colibri 22's also, for around my yard pickin off pack rats. Out of my ruger 10/22 they are so quiet, I can clap my hands louder then these. I chronographed them but I dont remember exactly how fast they are pushing but I know it was around 450 to 500 fps. and they'll hold a 1 inch group at 40 yards.
aguila doesnt recommend using them from a rifle length barrel though since they can get stuck in the bore if you happened to have one that was underpowered for some reason. I havent had a problem like that yet
knock on wood, just becareful and watch out for the possibilty of them lodging in the bore and you will be alright. the only real downside to them is that even though they are LR length they wont feed through my rugers magazine and I have to load them manually one at a time which is no big deal.
Anther good one I use is CCI CB longs they are a bit louder then the colibri's but not by much they seem to be about as loud as a air rifle. but they push a little harder they push a 29 grain bullet at about 720 to 730 fps. they are better for the larger critters like jack rabbits. these will function in my ruger 10/22 magazine just you have to work the bolt each time between shots since they dont have enough juice to cycle themselves.
.22 ammo...
