Synonyms 0.22 SSS Armament Any rifle or pistol chambered in 0.22 LR. Development The 0.22 Sniper Subsonic cartridge (0.22SSS) has been developed by Industrias Technos of Mexico , primarily for use in suppressed firearms. The 0.22 SSS 3.89 g bullet is the heaviest 0.22 rimfire bullet in the world and, while overall cartridge length is essentially identical to that of the 0.22LR cartridge, the case length approximates that of a 0.22 Short cartridge. Despite this, the 0.22 SSS cartridge will reliably operate any
semi-automatic rifle or pistol chambered in 0.22LR. The 0.22 SSS cartridge achieves very high levels of accuracy within its effective ranges when fired from an appropriate rifle or pistol. The trajectory of the 0.22 SSS 3.89 g bullet exhibits greater drop over range than a 2.5 g 0.22 LR bullet, but the 0.22 SSS has higher residual velocity and energy due to its greater mass. In fact, energy of the 0.22 SSS at 50 m is greater than the muzzle energy of a standard velocity 0.22 LR bullet. Description The cartridge case is brass, rimmed and straight walled, with a solid lead round-nose bullet.
