I did pull a bullet from one of the 22 CB Short cases and there is a small amount of powder in it. For $6 I'm going to see if the round ball will work. Pretty much if it is a tight fit in the barrel I think I can figure a way to hold the ball in the case. I may have to rely on the crimp on the unfired 'projectilless' case to keep the ball from falling to the bottom of the case and fashion some type of crimp to hold the ball from falling out of the top of the case. I should be able to find the round ball tonight and give it a try.
