When I could buy them I always kept CCI CB caps. I have a savage Mark 2 with a scope on it sighted in for 18 yards with them. I use it to shoot squirrels off my bird feeder out the back door. If the x is on their head they drop stone dead and it makes less noise than a fly swatter. I have killed a couple of ground hogs with them too that were feeding in my garden. I've never tried the quiet ammo but if I ever run across them again I'll buy 500 cb caps.
