CCI Shotshell Ammunition .22 WMR 52 Grain #12 Shot - 20 Rounds

The CCI Shotshell Ammunition .22 WMR 52 Grain #12 Shot is a specialized rimfire shotshell designed for shooters who need an effective small-game or pest control round at close to moderate range. Unlike conventional solid-bullet rimfire loads, this shotshell disperses a pattern of #12 shot, giving you a wider effective zone than a single projectile—ideal for fast-moving targets or situations where precision bullet placement is difficult. Loaded with 52 grains of #12 shot in .22 Magnum, each box contains 20 rounds ready to load into any rifle or handgun chambered for .22 WMR.

CCI has long dominated the specialty rimfire ammunition market by thinking beyond standard offerings. This shotshell represents that philosophy: it's built for the realities hunters and pest controllers face. Whether you're dealing with small varmints around the homestead, dispatching problem animals on your land, or exploring the practical side of rimfire shooting, this load gives you shot-pattern performance from a .22 Magnum platform. The #12 shot size offers a good balance of pattern density and effective range for its intended use.

Shot-shell rimfire ammunition occupies a unique niche. It's not a replacement for buckshot or birdshot in shotguns, but rather a way to leverage the inherent advantages of a .22 Magnum firearm—quiet report, minimal recoil, and the ability to shoot from positions where a shotgun might be impractical—while gaining the spread of multiple projectiles. If your .22 WMR work demands versatility beyond solid bullets, this is worth keeping on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms can I use this ammunition in?

This is a .22 WMR (.22 Magnum) shotshell, so it will only function in rifles or handguns specifically chambered for .22 Magnum. Do not attempt to fire it in .22 Long Rifle or other rimfire chambers.

What is #12 shot used for?

The #12 shot payload creates a spreading pattern ideal for close-range pest control and small-game situations where a conventional bullet might over-penetrate or where the wider target area of shot offers a practical advantage over a single projectile.

How many rounds come in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of CCI .22 WMR shotshell ammunition.

Is this ammunition different from standard .22 Magnum rounds?

Yes. Rather than a traditional solid bullet, this load fires a pattern of #12 shot. It's designed for specific applications like pest control at short range, not general target shooting or hunting where conventional bullets are more appropriate.
