I need a quiet 22 round.
 

OK I am having a squirrel problem. They first stashed all their acorns in that A/C of my wifes Honda that was funny, but now they have some how come through my subfloor and are storing their acorns in my pantry.

I live in a rural neighborhood but I do have neighbors in sight and earshot. I need a quiet round for my 10/22 so I don't annoy theneighbors. I could get a pellet rifle but I would never use in again.

in cabellas there is a conversion kit to make your 10/22 a 22 short

Give the CCI 22 CB long a try. At 710fps they are subsonic and are much quieter than the standard velocity rounds. They also come in shorts but for the 10/22 rotary magazine they work better. You will have to cycle the action by hand as they are only powered by the priming material. I use them for the same purpose as you are wanting and they work well. They come in 100 rd boxes and are a little pricey.

Aquila makes a subsonic bullet . I have the same problem with squirrels ...I planted a Dogwood in the backyard Saturday afternoon and SUnday Morning a Squirrel actually bit the tree twice and was attacking it(maybe its rabid) anyway I got a hold of Mr Gamo but the offender never showed up again. ;) That Gamo just literally stones those squirrelss

As mentioned, the CCI CBs work...I have killed several with my Remington 541-T with these...They are as quiet as a pellet rifle, you will need to eject them by hand on a semi...

Traps are real quite . . . QUIET!

I have a trap on the way. Sorry about the spelling I mostly do graphics so I grew up looking at the pictures rather then actually reading the books.

I thought I was the only one that did that!

Squirrels are very inteligent, they can get hip to your trap in no time. Then there's "what do I do with it" afterwards.
I get rabbits out of my yard with 'em.
Then dump them off at work!

Yeah i have a major squirrel problem i thought it was just one at first but then once i shot the first one the other squirrels were watching me skin him sooo that ended up being a problem and a set up a few traps. Now i've got 3 squirrels so far and more on the way. You should put some corn in a certain area and then after about a week when the squirrels are certain to go to that spot put a box trap with some corn and peanut butter. IF you really want to attract them you have to use tuna or something that stinks but that will get you some bigger stuff ex. Racoons. Then after you have the box trap set up put some snares out. As for the quiet 22 rounds look here. I have 3 houses all around me so i dont use a 22 i just use my air rifle.
Good Luck

I have a box of Remington subsonics thunderbolts I think will they be quiet as the cci's. I haven't shot them yet.
