What is cb cap 22?

CB Cap 22 refers to the .22 caliber short cartridge used in CB (conical ball) cap guns. CB caps are low-powered and quiet cartridges designed for use in small firearms, such as pistols and rifles. The CB Cap was originally developed in the late 1800s as a low-cost, low-powered alternative to standard cartridges.

The .22 CB Cap cartridge typically uses a conical lead bullet and contains only about 1/10th the amount of gunpowder found in a standard .22 LR cartridge. They are primarily used for target shooting and small-game hunting due to their low power and short range.

It is important to note that CB Cap 22 cartridges are not interchangeable with other .22 caliber cartridges due to their different size and power. They should only be used in firearms specifically designed to handle them, such as CB cap guns.
