Best Answer

The CB Long is a designation used by CCI for a cartridge that has the overall length of the LR cartridge, but a much lighter powder load. This results in a cartridge that is easier to cycle through a repeating rifle (actual CB caps are TINY!) but has far less energy than the LR cartridge. As a result, they are much quieter than the LR, the bullet travels slower, the bullet drop is greater, and the penetrating power is much less.

Are 22 cal short bullets for a 22 cal revolver?

22 shorts can be used in any 22 cal. weapon. however, some 22 rifles require long or long rifle 22 bullets. AA: Normally you use 22 shorts in a 22 cal revolver. 22 shorts use pistol powder. It burns much faster than rifle powder. Thus, a 22 short bullet is going as fast as it is going to go after it has travelled about 4 inches. A 22 long or long rifle uses rifle powder. The powder burns slower. It has finished burning when the bullet is about 20 inches down the barrel. A 22 long rifle bullet has very little force when shot from a pistol. The powder is still burning long after the bullet slowly left the barrel. So use pistol ammunition for a pistol and rifle ammunition for a rifle.
