I like to plink with CB .22 shorts, because they are much less noisy than regular .22LR rounds, but they don't feed well in my pump, for some reason. Are these 960s as quiet as a CB?

Dennis, no quite as quiet as a CB but decently so. These have a Muzzle Velocity of 710 FPS - Muzzle Energy of 45 ft/lbs and Features: 68 Decibels at shooters ear.

Dennis, Not as quiet as .22 shorts, but noticeably quieter then high velocity 22lr. Would work in pump rimfire rifle, but may not cycle some semi-autos. You can hear the difference.

They're not as quiet as a shorts. But they are generally quieter than a standard 22 obviously. These are good if for Pest Control in your backyard without having to wear ear protections.
