[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 374263, member: 15748"] Topbrass, A slight correction here; nearly [U]all[/U] standard velocity 22 Long Rifle ammo is subsonic from the muzzle, and thereby avoids any transonic issues entirely. This is one of the reasons most standard velocity ammo tends to be more accurate than High Velocity fodder. This is also why you almost never see supersonic High Velocity ammo used in smallbore matches. Nasty things happen when a bullet goes transonic, but as has already been pointed out here, some bullets handle this better than others. Kevin Thomas Lapua USA [/QUOTE]
