Sure. The .22 LR CBs are simply downloaded .22 LRs, and have the same 
profile as a standard .22. OTOH, the .22 short CBs wouldn't load into the 
magazine properly, just as regular .22 shorts, so of course they can't 
feed at all.
The only .22 LR CBs I see from a quick check of the catalogs are 
Remingtons, and are not cheap. The other brands seem to only come in 
shorts, and so won't even feed in a detachable-magazine bolt action such 
as the Marlin 25N.
