All the stuff I've seen that's marketed as subsonic is lead only, and I would guess the reason is because at subsonic velocities, you don't have to worry about leading a barrel up. And it's cheaper to produce.
That said, supersonic is going to depend on barrel length. |

I shoot mini mags out of my ported integral 77/22 and 10/22.....all the others get cci subsonics....they are quieter. |

Generally lead projectiles are for lower velocities.

Thanks all! I have my answer. The lead is just way dirtier bit the trade off for having the suppressor is more than worth it.
