JD> JP> I'd like some info on something I read about years ago - namely 22
JD> JP> rimfire BB and CB caps.
JD> JP> Are they still available?  I've never seen them in a store, myself.
JD> JP> Anybody got any experience with them?
JD> JP> I'm thinking of using them in a revolver in my basement during the
JD> JP> winter.  Is this practical?  How loud are they, compared to say, 22
JD> JP> shorts?  What kind of backstop would I need to stop them safely?
JD>I still see them in larger gun stores, or sporting goods stores with large
JD>firearms dept's. I used to single load BB Caps in a Ruger MkII for use on
JD>rodents. They make about as much noise as a kid's cap gun. Any soft 
backstop
JD>will absorb them as they're pretty low velocity.
Graff, in Mexico, Missouri, advertises Winchester CB caps at $1.74 a
box.  CCIs are $3.66 per hundred pack.  The order number is
1-800-531-2666.
