Home > .22 CB
.22 CB Cap (Conical Ball Cap) is a variety of .22 caliber rimfire ammunition which has a very small propellant charge, resulting in a low muzzle velocity of around 700 ft/s (213 m/s). This is similar to the muzzle velocity produced by a mid-power .22 pellet gun, however it should be noted that the bullet from a .22 CB cartridge is significantly heavier than a typical airgun pellet and therefore carries more energy.The original .22 CB cartridge has the same case as the .22 BB, but there are now low-power .22 rounds sold as .22 CB which come in the more common long and short .22 rimfire cartridge cases.
