Overview

Federal American Eagle Suppressor is built from the ground up for one job: feeding suppressed .22 LR semi-autos cleanly. The 45gr copper-plated round nose runs a subsonic 970 fps, heavy and slow enough that there is no supersonic crack for a suppressor to chase, while Federal pairs it with clean-burning powder specifically chosen to slow the carbon and lead fouling that otherwise builds fast in a suppressed rimfire action.

The copper plating works alongside that powder to keep the bore and the can cleaner over long strings, which matters because suppressed .22s foul faster than any other suppressed platform. The 45gr bullet weight gives it more authority on small game than the lightest subsonic loads while staying well under the sound barrier.

This is the dedicated suppressor plinking load for shooters who run a can on a 10/22 or a rimfire pistol and want reliable cycling without scrubbing the suppressor every range trip. It is not a match load, but for high-volume quiet shooting it is exactly what it claims to be.
