CCI Pest Control Bismuth Shotshell Ammunition is purpose-built for 10mm Auto handguns when you need to neutralize varmints and pests without relying on lead shot. Loaded with HEVI-Bismuth pellets alloyed and cast in the USA, these centerfire handgun shotshells deliver the density and downrange energy you'd expect from traditional lead ammunition while meeting all non-toxic shot requirements. This is the practical choice for hunters, property managers, and shooters who want a lead-free option that performs where it counts.
Each round pairs HEVI-Bismuth shot with CCI's Catalyst lead-free primer system, engineered for reliable ignition and consistent patterns at short range where pest control happens. The 8-shot load at 1300 feet per second balances energy transfer with controllable recoil in a compact platform—no need to switch to a rifle or larger gauge when your 10mm auto is already in hand. At 9.6 g/cc, the bismuth pellets are dense enough to carry useful energy without the legal or environmental complications of lead.
Packaged in 10-round boxes, these shotshells let you stock up for regular practice or keep handy for the moment you need them. Whether you're dealing with ground squirrels, prairie dogs, or other small pests on your property, CCI's centerfire handgun shotshell design has proven itself over years of real-world use—this is just the lead-free iteration built to the same standard.
