This round is made by CCI, (at least they were, not sure now) and are a .22 CB slug (basically a short slug, 27-29 grains) and charge (m,aybe no charge) , in a .22 long rifle case. A .22 CB (conical ball?) is less powerful than a standard or HV .22 short and typically is assembled in a short case, but they can be hard to handle. I'm not so sure a .22 CB is just the primer charge w/ no propellant.

A ".22 long" HV or standard velocity is a near defunct ctg that used the .22 long rifle case and the light 27-29 gr "short" bullet.

Don't mean to hijack the thread. This .22 CB long was a great trainer, in our Cricket, no hearing protection required, so I could coach in a normal voice and the boy would not be distracted by plugs or muffs.
