Description

CCI's HEVI-Bismuth line brings centerfire handgun shotshell capability to 10mm Auto pistols with a completely lead-free solution that doesn't sacrifice performance. The 95-grain payload of #8 bismuth shot gives you effective pattern density out to practical pest control distances, built on CCI's proven centerfire shotshell design with reliable brass casings and Catalyst lead-free primers.

What Makes HEVI-Bismuth Different

The bismuth pellets are alloyed and cast in the USA with a density of 9.6 g/cc, which means they carry nearly the same downrange energy as lead while meeting all non-toxic ammunition standards. This density advantage over steel allows you to maintain effective patterns and penetration without needing larger shot sizes. Whether you're dealing with snakes, rats, or other small pests in tight quarters, the #8 shot size produces a controlled spread that doesn't over-penetrate or waste energy at short ranges.

Close-Range Pest Control for 10mm Users

Loaded to 1300 fps, these shotshells are optimized for short-distance encounters where controlled spread and reduced over-penetration matter. The round works in compatible semi-automatic 10mm pistols, cycling cleanly without the reliability issues some shooters experience with lighter shotshell loads in autos. Each 10-round box contains non-reloadable cases marked for safety, packed in reusable boxes for convenient storage and transport.

Designed for Non-Lead Environments

These rounds give you a practical option in areas where lead ammunition is restricted, without forcing you to compromise on pattern quality or terminal performance. The Catalyst primers ensure consistent ignition shot after shot, and the brass construction delivers reliable feeding through your pistol's action.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these HEVI-Bismuth shotshells cycle reliably in my 10mm semi-auto?

Yes, CCI designed these shotshells to feed and cycle properly in semi-automatic 10mm pistols. The brass casings and integral primer design aid reliable feeding compared to some other handgun shotshells. That said, shotshells generally produce lighter recoil than standard ammo, so if your specific gun has trouble cycling light loads, manually working the slide between shots is an option.

What's the advantage of bismuth over steel for pest control?

Bismuth pellets at 9.6 g/cc density are significantly denser than steel, so they carry more energy downrange and retain velocity better. This means you get superior pattern density and penetration on target without needing larger shot sizes. For close-range pest work, that translates to more reliable, cleaner hits on small targets.

Can I use these in firearms with ported barrels?

No, do not use these shotshells in any firearm with ported barrels or ported recoil compensators. The plastic capsule containing the shot can break apart prematurely in ported systems, creating unsafe firing conditions. These are designed for standard barrel configurations only.

Are these shotshells reloadable?

No, these cases are marked NR (Not Reloadable) and are designed for single use only. Attempting to reload them can cause case rupture and result in serious injury.
