CB caps in Single Six

[oscar243]

Just wondering if I can shoot CB caps in my Single Six .22LR cylinder without hurting anything.

Won't hurt a thing. It might take a bit more cleaning if you shoot a lot of them. Kinda like shooting a lot of 38 spl in a 357 mag cylinder. Just needs a bit more cleaning.

Thanks Contender. Think I'll try a few tomorrow!

May be fun but it won't be powerful. Don

Yep I have shot them in mine no problem. they do make a little noise.
Shot out of the Marlin 97 the only noise you hear is the hammer falling

I've shot BB and CB caps in my Uberti Stallion and my Single Six. Made a little more noise than I remember from days of yore, and seem to be a bit more potent. A CCI CB cap fired into a 1x4 piece of pine penetrated clean through.

As I recall, a BB cap would not penetrate but only embedded the bullet in the wood.

It depends on the range!

Should be no problem. Usually I shoot them through an bearcat. You still need a pretty good piece of wood to keep it from going all the way through.

Just a note,the CCI CBs are loud,the Remingtons ,not so much.

CB caps in my bolt action is only a click sound. In my LCR-22, it's pretty loud! But they work fine in the revolver...

I have fired and chronographed the CCI CB Long, and in a 4" revolver I get 450 fps. In a 24 " rifle, they went 730 fps.

These are not the same as CB Caps, which I would think would not be as robust as even the CB Long. 8)
