CCI 10MM BISMUTH SHOTSHELL 10/200

Description

CCI’s Pest Control Shotshell in 10mm Auto is built for one specific job: stopping snakes, rats, and similar nuisance animals at close range without the overpenetration risk of a conventional bullet. The cartridge fires a No. 9 lead shot payload, which spreads into a small but effective pattern at the distances where you actually encounter pests — under a car hood, along a fence line, in a barn. That spread matters because small, fast-moving targets leave almost no margin for error with a single projectile.

The shot charge is contained in a rigid plastic capsule that breaks apart as it exits the barrel, which allows the ammunition to cycle and feed through a standard semi-automatic pistol without requiring any modification to the firearm. A flexible base wad sits behind the payload and seals against gas blow-by, keeping pressure consistent through the bore. The aluminum casing keeps weight down and is common across CCI’s centerfire handgun shotshell line. At 105 grains, the load is light enough to function reliably in 10mm platforms without generating the kind of recoil that would disturb a follow-up shot if the first pattern falls short.

This is not a self-defense or hunting load — the pattern density and energy at even modest distances make it unsuitable for either role. It fills a narrow but practical niche for anyone who regularly works outdoors and wants a round that handles close-quarters pest problems cleanly. Packed ten rounds to a box, it ships in a case of twenty boxes.
