.22lr cb for cz425

[pete123 45]

As above anyone used this round in a cz425. I sold my air rifle after I bought my cz to get some pennies back. I have .22 fac air on my ticket and prob look into getting one later. How does a .22lr cb compare to a 12ft air rifle is it similar power little more or less? It would be great if I could have the benefit of a slower round for some areas on my permission I.e round farmers yard area!

 

Also are shot shells really as bad as people make out would they not be any good for 20yard pidgeons?

I haven't seen or used a CB in more than 20 years, are they still available?

 

If people make out shot shells are bad they are using them in the wrong situation! They are VERY good at what they are good at, which is VERY close range small pest control. 20 yards is definitely on the far limit for pretty much anything cleanly, I wouldn't push it that far, 5 yards brilliant 10 ok, 15 :hmm:, but Magnum loads are also available (you need a WMR rifle).

 

Birds, squirrel, snakes, rats, mice etc, but ideally at the end of your barrel.

I have a few cb long in 22lr and i reckon they are about 30ft lbs so still a pokey little round. Accuracy in my brno model 2 starts to drop off after 30yds or so. I used them for close range ratting on a dairy farm. Watch your backstops though as these suckers bounce!

Shotshells where allegedly developed by our American cousins for snakes as they couldn't hit them with a single round.

If you have a half decent rifle keep shotshells out of it..and DON'T use a moderator either.

 

They are as not as bad on the rifling as you may think, and a brush afterwords should clear it out.

 

Just the same, if you intend to use Shotshells a LOT, I strongly suggest investing in a dedicated used cheap as chips rifle, there are plenty about, and it's a GOOD reason for 2 in the same calibre!

...and if we look at the unlikely situation that I am being relentlessly attacked by a deranged snake, and I happen to have a shotshell loaded, I will not be thinking about consulting the statute books! :laugh:
