I've been having fun with these....

http://www.vanceoutdoors.com/products2.cfm/ID/72773

the cb longs work perfectly with the standard 10/22 magazine, and by manually cycling the bolt, I essentially have 10 shots of on demand silenced firepower. :3

not terribly powerful but it'll kill s**t.

anyone else have fun with them?

thinking of getting a ruger 22/45 for fishing trips when I get my carry permit....goddamn turtles keep attacking and getting the hooks stuck in their mouths making fishing near impossible to progress with...so I figure I may use some cb's to sink the little bastards.

I've got a pack of CCI .22 Short. Pretty much the same thing, maybe a bit louder. Fun as hell to shoot, though. I only wish my .22 still had the magazine conversion screw that it shipped with.

just get cb longs razz

they should work in a .22lr gun's magazine

I used to use the shorts til I found out that academy carried the longs.

Ehh, it's a 24" barrel. I'm not sure that a primer has enough oomph to get such a large bullet down the barrel effectively, and if it doesn't, my gun is bricked until I buy a cleaning rod.

whut, it's the same projectile size, just longer case length that allows for use in the magazine. if anything it should have more oomph than the shorts.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the rounds with a 55gr. projectile in a .22 Short case.

nope, those are subsonics. those are almost as loud as regular .22's

.22 Short are subsonics too, and they're roughly as loud as an air rifle. confused

idk, they still got powder. maybe from a very long barrled rifle those gasses might be somewhat contained.

cb's are more like sudden concussion and give just the right amount of pressure to be sent downrange and still hurt s**t without releasing enough out the muzzle to really be loud.

Shorts have some powder too, but like you said, by the time it reaches the end of the barrel, the powder's burned and the gas is just expanding a bit. A .22 Short from my girlfriend's Marlin 795 sounds comparable to a .177 pellet from my 1000fps Gamo. I'd be curious to compare Shorts to CBs sometime, though. Actually, you probably could, if you wanted. I bought my box of 100 Shorts at Wal-Mart for, like, twelve bucks.
