I’m not sure what the status of these is since the sale of Remington. I got tired of trying to get CB longs loaded into the 10-22 while half asleep with raccoons raising hell with my birds.

.22 CBee, 33 gr. frangible HP bullet

I have to cycle the action manually, but they go into the chamber from the magazine, which CB Longs wouldn’t do.

Yeah, the 10/22 is very specifically a .22LR design. There have been some modified magazines from the custom shops like Volquartsen, which make the CB Longs load more reliably - but it's an expensive project to get it sorted out.

I love using the CCI CB Longs in my Marlin 39 - all you hear is the hammer drop, followed by the meaty thump of the bullet connecting with the target. I tried the CB Caps first (same ballistics as the CB Longs, just made on a Short case), but the 39 didn't feed them reliably. I guess even the Short-Long-Long Rifle combo designs have limitations.
