March 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Winchester Ammunition introduced a new .22 Long rimfire cartridge desgined for accuracy and low noise. The SUPER-X CB-match .22 Long round pushes a 29 grain bullet at 770 fps.

From Winchester Ammunition:

New for 2008, Winchester® offers a highly accurate rimfire load designed to feed and function in single shot rifles chambered for the vintage .22 Long (L) and .22 Long Rifle (LR) cartridges.

The low-noise Winchester SUPER-X® CB-match with a lightweight 29-grain conical lead bullet is well suited for practice and ideal for discreet outdoor pest control.

The new CB-match grade round is engineered for pinpoint accuracy and a quiet report, producing a muzzle velocity of 770 feet per second (fps) and 38 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. This new 22 CB load feeds smoothly from conventional magazines and ejects reliably in .22 L and .22 LR chambered bolt-action rifles and single shots, but is not recommended for semi-autos. This round joins Winchester’s wide selection of rimfire products designed for precision target shooting, silhouettes, plinking, small-game hunting and pest control.

The new Super-X .22 Long CB-match features:

  • 29-grain conical ball lead round nose bullet
  • Low noise and discreet pest control
  • Chambers in rifles designed for 22 Long and 22 Long Rifle cartridges (not recommended for semi-autos)
  • Muzzle velocity of 770 fps
  • Muzzle energy of 38 foot-pounds
