These CCI HEVI-Bismuth shotshells deliver the performance you need for close-range pest control without dealing with lead. They're purpose-built on CCI's established centerfire handgun shotshell platform, loaded with premium HEVI-Bismuth pellets that are alloyed and cast in Sweet Home, Oregon. The 112-grain payload uses #8 shot size in aluminum cases with a muzzle velocity of 1,050 fps.
When bismuth pellets are cast at 9.6 g/cc density, they nearly match the downrange energy and performance of traditional lead shot while staying completely lead-free. This density level puts bismuth right between lead and steel in terms of ballistic effectiveness. The result is consistent, tight patterns at the distances where you need them for varmint work.
You're getting CCI's centerfire handgun shotshell foundation paired with their Catalyst lead-free primer for reliable ignition every time. This combination was engineered specifically to handle the bismuth pellet load and deliver clean, consistent performance through your .44 Special or .44 Magnum revolver or pistol. The aluminum cases keep weight down while maintaining structural integrity.
Packed 10 rounds per box, these are ready to go straight out of the box for any situation where a lead-free option makes sense or where regulations require it. Short-range effectiveness is the whole point of these loads, and the #8 shot size was selected to deliver the patterns you need on snakes, chipmunks, rats, and other problem wildlife.
HEVI-Bismuth pellets are alloyed with tin to achieve 9.6 g/cc density, which puts them between lead and steel in terms of performance. This density means they retain more downrange energy than steel while being non-toxic. The bismuth alloy is also soft like lead, making it safe for any standard handgun barrel.
These are designed for short-range pest control, typically effective within 10 feet or less due to the handgun platform and shot pattern characteristics. They're meant for close-quarter work on snakes, small varmints, and similar targets where you need quick, controlled patterns.
Yes, these cartridges work in any firearm chambered for .44 Special or .44 Magnum. However, the shot pattern will vary depending on your specific gun and barrel length. Since they're centerfire shotshells, they function just like standard .44 ammunition from a mechanical standpoint.
Some areas have non-toxic ammunition requirements for certain types of wildlife control or pest management. Lead-free options also make sense if you're concerned about environmental impact or handling. These HEVI-Bismuth loads give you that flexibility without sacrificing the performance you'd expect from a quality shotshell.
