Description
These CCI shotshells give you a dedicated pest control option for your 10mm Auto handgun. The bismuth shot payload patterns reliably and delivers the energy needed at close range where most pest encounters happen. Whether you're dealing with snakes around your property, rodent problems in barns or gardens, or need a backup round during outdoor time in snake country, these give you a purpose-built solution.
The Right Tool for 10mm Pest Control
CCI brought the pest control shotshell to the 10mm Auto platform for a reason. The 10mm gives you more velocity and energy than smaller handgun calibers in this format, which translates to a wider, more effective pattern at the distances where it matters. The round features an integral mock projectile shape to feed reliably in semi-automatic 10mm platforms, making it practical for your carry gun or working gun.
Bismuth Shot and Non-Toxic Design
The HEVI-Bismuth pellets achieve a density of 9.6 g/cc, which gets you nearly the same downrange performance as traditional lead while staying compliant with non-toxic ammunition requirements. The bismuth material comes from established manufacturers and is designed to deliver consistent patterns rather than rely on wide spreads. Paired with CCI's Catalyst lead-free primer, the round works in environments where lead ammunition restrictions apply.
Built for the Job
The aluminum case is marked as non-reloadable, which keeps manufacturing standards consistent. A flexible base wad prevents gas leakage, and the rigid plastic shot capsule breaks on the rifling to deliver your pattern. Residue cleans up with standard firearm cleaning methods. These rounds come in a practical 10-round reusable box that stores easily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these 10mm shotshells feed reliably in my semi-automatic pistol?
Yes. CCI designed the 10mm Auto shotshells with an integral mock projectile shape specifically to feed reliably in semi-automatic 10mm platforms. The plastic capsule is contained within the case to prevent feeding issues, unlike revolver-caliber shotshells which use a rounded cap on top.
What's the effective range for these shotshells?
CCI pest control shotshells work best inside 10-15 feet, where the pattern is still tight enough to hit small targets like snakes and rodents. Beyond that distance, the pattern spreads too wide to be reliable. These are designed specifically for close-contact pest scenarios.
Can I reload the aluminum cases?
No. The cases are marked NR (Not Reloadable) for safety reasons. Attempting to reload these cases can cause rupture and severe injury. Use them as single-fire rounds only.
Why bismuth instead of lead shot?
Bismuth at 9.6 g/cc density delivers nearly the same downrange energy as lead while being non-toxic, making these rounds suitable for areas where lead ammunition is restricted. The ballistic performance remains consistent with lead-based loads in this application.
