The .22 CCI CB is a subsonic round designed for ultra-quiet shooting, making it ideal for pest control or target practice in noise-sensitive environments. The CB (Conical Ball) series is particularly popular for its low velocity, which keeps the noise level significantly lower than standard .22 LR rounds.
Key Features:
Subsonic Velocity: The CCI CB operates at a very low velocity of 710 fps, which minimizes the noise associated with firing. This makes it perfect for backyard shooting or pest control where discretion is important.
29-Grain Bullet: The 29-grain lead round nose (LRN) bullet provides enough energy for small game hunting or pest control, yet is light enough to keep the round quiet and manageable.
Quiet Operation: Since it’s subsonic, this round produces much less noise than standard high-velocity .22 LR ammunition. When fired from longer-barreled rifles, the noise can be as quiet as a suppressed round.
Why It’s Special:
Extremely Quiet: This is one of the quietest .22 rounds available, making it a favorite for pest control or discreet shooting.
Minimal Recoil: With its low velocity and lighter bullet, the CCI CB offers very little recoil, making it easy to handle for novice shooters or when shooting in controlled environments.
Performance:
- Bullet Weight: 29 grains
- Muzzle Velocity: 710 fps
- Bullet Type: Lead Round Nose (LRN)
Applications:
Pest Control: The low noise and moderate power make this round ideal for controlling pests in residential or agricultural settings without alarming neighbors.
Target Practice: Great for practice in smaller spaces where sound may be an issue, such as backyard ranges.
The .22 CCI CB provides an extremely quiet, low-recoil option for pest control and discreet shooting practice. Its low velocity ensures minimal disturbance while still delivering enough energy for small game and target shooting applications.
