.22 short

[earlthegoat2]

My Remington 572 will shoot shorts along with LR and Longs.

A local shop has a small stash of CCI Shorts for sale right now. I have plenty currently though.

I'd love to see a pic.

Have a Beretta 950B, also called a Minx, that shoots only .22 shorts.
Taught my daughter how to shoot with the Minx.

My first 22 was a BL22 and it held 15 long rifle cartridges and if i am not mistaken it held 22 rounds of short. I killed a lot of birds and squirrels with a 22 short. That said, even as a kid i always thought it was anemic.

I really love that Browning BL22. I need to shoot it sometime soon. I still have some 22 shorts in the cache.

Such a fun little round to shoot!

Shorts and CB's get the job done in revolvers, bolt actions, break actions, and lever actions.


My dad's Marlin 39a will hold 21 of them!





Today's .22 Short is probably better that yesterday's .22 Long, so maybe it's fine for grizzly bears:

Bella Twin, the .22 Used to Take the 1953 World Record Grizzly, and More

On 10 May, 1953, Bella Twin was hunting small game with her partner, Dave Auger, along an oil exploration cutline south of Slave Lake. She was 63 years old.

Academy in McDonough had lots of CCI shorts today.
But they were $15.00 per 100.

Not counting the tube fed .22s that can handle the gambit. I have an antique Winchester Low Wall that is short only. And 2 little break action “gallery guns”, 1 of which is a Remington. The other may be a Stevens. Both of which are short only.

Good info. I have always wanted to ask if I could shoot shorts out of my wheel gun and now I know I can.

You can, but accuracy is going to be marginal at best.

Back when we raised hogs we killed hundreds with shorts.

I have never in my life shot a short except in a Hilti gun. I have some but only shoot LR’s.
