norm

I've never seen them for sale anywhere. Probably can be had on the 'net somewhere.

BB or CB?

CTD has BB caps for about $32/hundred.

which one had the primer and the star crimped end like a shot shell?

Norm, do a search on gunbroker and you will find several examples.

Are you wanting to buy some? There is a very similar round still in production that I use to plink gophers in the back yard. Sounds about like a pellet rifle discharging.

BB and CB's had a ball in the end of the case. Blanks have a crimped end.

What are you using these in and what are you doing with them?

came up in a discussion i was having with a 22HP owner that i was checking out, 22HP spent 26 years on a fishing boat after 20 odd years trapping ,has stories to tell but is a well used up gun.
He has a old remminton pump 22 that the cases are getting stuck in, during the discussion , gun marked as 22 short ,long ,long rifle, brain gears spun around ,,long and LR cases are getting stuck because to many shorts were fired out of it , then we turned to bb caps and cb caps wondered if they were still available.

With enough elbow grease and fine, mild abrasives, that chamber could be cleaned out.

For many years I could only afford Shorts in my revolver and burnt powder and primer abrasives built up in the chambers and wouldn't allow LRs to enter. Bristle brushes and powder solvent cleaned them out.

we'll have a go at that and see what happens.

thanks norm

Nobel Dynamite sold in cans of 100

CCI makes CB Shorts that will work if you can't get it cleaned up.
