Subsonic rimfire ammunition has become a staple for licensed hunters and pest controllers who need effective terminal performance without the sharp crack of a supersonic round, and the Armscor 22LR Subsonic 40gr HP Rimfire Ammo - 500 Rounds delivers exactly that. Running at 1050 fps, this load sits comfortably below the sound barrier, eliminating the sonic boom that standard velocity .22 LR rounds produce, which makes a meaningful difference in noise-sensitive environments and when working through multiple targets in a session. The 40 grain copper-plated hollow point projectile is engineered to expand reliably on impact, producing a dependable terminal result on small game and pest species. Packaged in a 500-round brick, this is a practical bulk buy for those who put serious volume through their .22 during pest control work or regular range sessions.
Armscor 22LR Subsonic 40gr HP Rimfire Ammo - 500 Rounds Key Features
- Calibre: .22 LR, one of the most widely used rimfire cartridges in Australia for small game hunting, pest control, and plinking.
- Bullet Weight: 40 grain, a classic weight for .22 LR that balances trajectory stability and terminal performance at subsonic velocities.
- Muzzle Velocity: 1050 fps (320 m/s), deliberately loaded to stay below the speed of sound (approximately 1125 fps / 343 m/s), eliminating the supersonic crack for quieter shooting, especially effective when used with a suppressor.

- Case Type: Brass, offering consistent neck tension and reliable chambering across a broad range of .22 LR firearms.

- Pack Size: 500 rounds per brick, providing genuine value for high-volume pest control operations or extended range sessions without the need to constantly restock.
- Consistency and Accuracy: Manufactured to U.S. production standards at Armscor's Philippines facility, with a focus on uniform ballistics and repeatable accuracy suitable for both field and range use.
For .22 LR shooters who want a dependable subsonic load in bulk, Armscor's 40gr hollow point offering is a solid, no-fuss choice. Whether you're running a suppressed semi-auto for rabbit control or working through a brick at the range, the consistent performance and brass-cased construction make this a reliable option to keep in the cabinet.
What makes this ammo subsonic, and why does that matter?
This Armscor .22 LR load has a muzzle velocity of 1050 fps, which keeps it well below the sound barrier. That means no sonic crack when fired, resulting in noticeably quieter shooting. This makes it particularly well-suited for pest control situations where reducing noise disturbance is important, and it pairs effectively with a suppressor.
What type of bullet does this ammunition use, and what effect does it have on target?
This ammunition uses a 40 grain copper-plated hollow point bullet. On impact, the hollow point design promotes rapid expansion, which delivers a reliable and effective result on small game and varmints. The copper plating also helps protect the bullet's profile during feeding, supporting consistent accuracy across shots.
How many rounds come in a pack?
Each pack contains 500 rounds, commonly referred to as a brick. This makes it a practical bulk-buy option for shooters who use .22 LR regularly for pest control, small game hunting, or frequent plinking sessions where reliable, consistent performance is needed across a high volume of rounds.
What case and primer type does this ammo use?
This Armscor ammunition uses brass cases with rimfire priming, which is standard for .22 LR cartridges. Brass cases are known for their reliable performance and dimensional consistency. Note that rimfire brass is not reloadable, so this is a single-use cartridge — a common and expected characteristic of all .22 LR ammunition.
