Description

CCI keeps their centerfire shotshell lineup fresh with these lead-free HEVI-Bismuth rounds, designed specifically for handgun pest control where minimizing environmental impact matters. The bismuth pellets are alloyed and cast right here in Sweet Home, Oregon, giving you consistency from a manufacturer that knows what they're doing.

What Makes HEVI-Bismuth Different

Bismuth shot carries a density of 9.6 g/cc, which means it delivers nearly the same power and downrange energy as traditional lead while staying completely non-toxic. This isn't a compromise on performance. The material is harder than steel and softer than tungsten, making it gentler on your gun's internals while still packing enough punch for small game and pests at close range.

Catalyst Primer for Reliable Ignition

Instead of the older DDNP-based lead-free primers, these rounds use CCI's proprietary Catalyst primer. It's designed to burn cleaner with more uniform combustion, which means better consistency and less velocity variation from round to round. The Catalyst primer also resists moisture better than typical lead-free options, so your ammunition stays reliable even in less-than-ideal storage conditions.

Short-Range, Pattern-Focused Design

These 9mm shotshells are built for tight quarters and small targets where precision matters. The #11 shot creates focused patterns at close range, making them ideal for snakes, rodents, and other pests around the property. They're not a long-range round, but that's the point. CCI engineered them specifically for the distances where handgun shotshells are actually used.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these HEVI-Bismuth shotshells work in my 9mm handgun?

These are centerfire handgun shotshells designed for 9mm Luger firearms. They're loaded lighter than conventional 9mm rounds and may not function reliably in all models, so it's worth testing a round or two to ensure reliable cycling in your specific gun before committing to a full box.

How far are these 9mm shotshells effective?

These rounds deliver effective patterns at close range, roughly 5 to 20 feet depending on your handgun's sights and barrel length. They're purpose-built for tight-quarters pest control where precision and pattern density matter more than distance. Testing them on paper at various distances will show you exactly where they pattern from your gun.

Why use bismuth instead of steel or tungsten?

Bismuth offers a density of 9.6 g/cc that matches lead performance while staying non-toxic. It's softer than steel on gun barrels and less expensive than tungsten, making it a practical middle ground. The HEVI-Bismuth pellets are specifically alloyed and cast for consistent integrity and performance.

What's special about the Catalyst primer?

The Catalyst is a proprietary lead-free primer that burns cleaner and more completely than traditional lead-free options. It produces minimal velocity variation, which means tighter patterns and more consistent performance. It's also non-hydrophilic, so it resists moisture better for longer-term storage reliability.
