Dan:
Terrific post.
I've been thinking more and more about a .22 rifle with a chamber cut for shorts.
Standard velocity shorts are interesting, too. My father-in-law had a passion for shooting what he called pocket gophers in his Michigan backyard. He used .22 short solids. Not as quiet as CBs, but pretty quiet compared to .22 lr. And he killed a bunch of those flower-munching varmints.
