Does anyone know what these were used for?

[BNE]

Elk hunting!

No, No, more like ELEPHANT hunting.

Be careful with loading them in a lever action. I had one tumble and get stuck in the magazine. It was a little scary to get out.

CCI still makes the CB cap, but the're a little scarce at the time. I saw some BB caps not long ago, but they were very expensive. Like 37.00/100. They have the copper cases with a little conical boolit. I had some years ago that had an acorn headstamp. I believe they are made in Germany. Both are very quiet and surprisingly powerful for what they are. My Winchester '03 .22 pump works well with the CB.

It was these that I use to get, and still do if I see them



I did chronograph some out of interest. Came as a surprise at 910, 876, 876, 837fps. That was from my rifle.

These were the ones I saw just the other day. They were 37 and some change for a 100. Some new rules about imports. I see the price tag on yours is 12.25. That must have been awhile ago. Also, I found the rim to be a little thicker than standard and didn't want to work in some revolvers.

I had some .17 cal. pinfires awhile back. Can't find them now. They were interesting too.
