CCI CB .22 Short ammunition (part no. 26) loads a 29-grain lead round nose bullet at reduced velocity, built for shooters who need a quiet round for pest control without disturbing the whole neighborhood. CCI Ammunition builds the CB (Conical Ball) line to run well below the sound of standard .22 Short, making it a favorite for barn and backyard pest work at close range. In rimfire ammunition, this is the box for the job that calls for quiet more than power.
Key Specifications
