CB stands for conical BULLET. The cb cap was an evolution of the bb cap which used a round lead ball as a projectile, and was originally designed for indoor parlor shooting.
I use the cb in my backyard to get rid of starlings and Indian mynahs, both pest birds in aus, even in suburbia no problem ,about the same noise as a door slam. They won’t cycle in my 22 savage ,so they have to be put in without the magazine and with a pair of long nosed pliers,bit of dicking around,but they get the job done
The Aguila super extra short is 22 short. The CCI CB short is downloaded form of 22 short. CCI also makes 22 short around 1000 fps. The Colibri uses extra primer to drive the bullet.
Thank You Sir! I like to shoot the CBs through the Heritage Rough Rider carefree about cycling the bolt. Apparently it operated your 10/22! 👍🇺🇸 #22aday
We have a few boxes of this round, and while it would be effective on squirrels we haven't really designated the ammo for anything specific...just part of the range supply at the moment, as shorts are fun to shoot...
There’s nothing wrong with shooting shorts in an .22lr only rifle , how do you think they made rifles back in the day that used .22shorts , .22longs and .22long rifles ? It wasn’t a special chamber . It has to do with rifle being designed to function properly with shorts , or it will stove pipe or jam trying to cycle them, also .22short rifling was usually 1:20 not 1:16 .22lr is , so accuracy might be off some , other then that just clean the carbon ring that forms in the chamber after a couple hundred rounds or .22lr might not feed reliably
