I've got some .22cal C.B. Caps that have an ACORN impressed into the base of the Copper--NOT brass case. Anyone know Who's they are and where I can get some more???? THANX--SNEAKY

I have some around here, somewhere. I think they are Dynamit Nobel.

Rheinisch-Westfalische Sprengstoff A.G.

Commonly known as RWS.

I may be wrong, but I don't think they've made copper-cased .22 ammo of any kind in a LONG time.

Mike is correct! RWS.
I bought these in the late 1070s.

Someone advised me that a company "Gold City Gun & Cartridge Co.LLc has both for sale. BUT what's the difference between C.B caps and B.B.caps ??? They are both 17gr and both are listed @ 750FPS and are solid, special purpose low velocity. The ones that I still have do have a copper case and the projectile is pointed. I suppose that when I call them on Monday they'll be able to tell me. Thanks again SNEAKY

"I bought these in the late 1070s."

What, on your way to the Second Crusade?

Hold up, Richard the Lionheart! I need to get some ammo!

I'm old. Can't help it. Actually, it should have said "1970s."
