I used to use BB caps a bit. May still have some. They had a normal .22
bullet in a short case, but very little powder. 'Cause I took some apart
to find out!

They may have evolved over time. The last time I saw BB caps advertised was
around 1960. They were still round balls then. The ones my dad had, which he
must have bought around 1930, were round balls, too.

It appears that the former "CB cap" got re-named "CB short" somewhere along
the line, too.
