Winchester "22 Long CB Match" ammo???

[TReX300]

Has anyone come across any? I picked up a box in Michigan to try out and it shot quite a bit better than the CCI CB Longs. I had my local shop look into it and they said their supplier said Winchester hasn't made any 22 Long ammo in years. According the Winchester site it was released in 2008 so someone is full of it somewhere. If anyone knows anywhere that sells it (preferably in ON) or if they have any experience with how it shot for them I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks
Tim

Never heard of it before , but it does sound interesting.......I wonder how they coax more accuracy out a a Long CB/CB Long round ?....

I never heard of the Winchester CB Long Match rounds, but CCI makes a .22 Match Short that has very close ballistics to the CB rounds. They were designed for the now obsolete ISSF Olympic Rapid Fire pistols that shot the short rounds. They would group within an inch, outside to outside diameter, at 25m out of these target pistols. It would not be much of a stretch to extend that into a .22 Long Match. The question would be, who would use them? And for which match?
