CCI CB Shorts out of a revolver

I also have gone this route. You can shoot cb ammo from any 22 LR revolver. But... Quiet groundhog kills are difficult with CB type ammo. I bought a Remington 512 with a 24" barrel, and CBs are very quiet, but just didnt have the power to humanly kill a GH unless sniper accurate shots are taken.
IF legal in your state, and you are serious about stopping the GH invasion, a suppressed 22 rifle, with standard velocity ammo is very effective, and whisper quiet.
Well... now I see you are in the PRofNJ, so sorry... No suppressor for you. Good luck with the GHs

If you don't want the fouling they also make CB longs (they also feed out of magazines designed for .22 long rifle).
Suppressed all you hear is the firing pin and bullet impact.

I agree with natman, I took one shot at a bowling pin with my 617 with a CB long and it bounced back and hit me in the leg. They seem to shoot OK out the revolver, but no more CB rounds at hard things.

CCI does make the cb's in long also if you are worried about them burning the chambers in your revolver chambered in LR . They have been hard to find lately . CB'S will kill a ground hog , I would go for a ear hole shot a rib shot and it may get away and die later . I have seen the CB shorts function simi auto in the little Belgium Browning 22 short only rifles if you keep it cleaned . The only cb caps I have seen that were corrosive were made in Europe and had a acorn stamped on the bottom of the case , these were about half the size of a 22 short .
There was also that Aguila load, the...sniper sub sonic I think? This is a 60gr bullet on a .22 short case. Trouble is not every .22 would stabilize such a long bullet.
With a CB as well as some of these other subsonic types, if the muzzle of your rifle is well back in the house, your house will make for quite a suppressor. At least for the neighbors.

Yeah, I already tried that with Remington sub-sonics and the marlin 39. I set up a shooting bench at the kitchen table and had the lady friend fire off a couple from well inside the house (to outside through an open window of course). I could hear it from both my neighbors yards. Then decided to cease fire until I talked to both my neighbors.

CCI CB shorts have ~ 0.45 gr of powder and require ~ 24" or barrel to be BB gun quiet.
The expansion is needed to get the muzzle pressure upon bullet escapement below 1 atmosphere above ambient. That is the threshold of supersonic gas.
Even then, if the bullet strikes plywood, they are very loud. The plywood is compliant and closer to the impedance of air. This allows mechanical energy to be coupled to the air.

Clark-I have no idea what you just said, but I can tell you I have used CCI CB Long ammo out of a Winchester 9422 with a Simmons 4X 22 Mag scope for years to effectively dispatch skunks and rabbits (head shots) with BB Gun noise levels. My wife can not hear the shots when she is in the house. I have also wondered if they would be as quiet out of a revolver, but never gave it a try.
