CCI Ammunition just announced the release of its new HEVI-Bismuth Centerfire Handgun Shotshells for pest control. Snakes and other pesky invasive critters beware. The new line of handgun ammo includes loads in 9mm, 38/357, 40, 44 and 45 calibers.

The loadings include a catalyst lead-free primer and HEVI-Bismuth shot pellets. At 9.6 g/cc, the shot carriers density and downrange energy equal to lead. But it adheres to contemporary non-toxic ammunition requirements levied in certain locales. The design produces effective short-range patterns on pests, packaged in 10-round boxes.
“You don’t get to choose when or where you’ll encounter dangerous, damaging pests, but you’ll always be prepared to take them out with our HEVI-Bismuth centerfire handgun shotshells,” said Chris Laack, CCI’s Handgun Product Manager. “They’re loaded with HEVI-Bismuth pellets alloyed and cast in Sweet Home, Oregon, by our affiliate company, HEVI-Shot Ammunition, and it’s the best bismuth shot in the industry. This product is intended for those required to use lead-free options.”

Editor’s Take:
When afield, sportsmen never know what kind of trouble might come their way. From bear country to the swampy South, you need proper gear to stay safe outdoors. We love the old classic .22 snake loads, an area in which DoubleTap recently breathed new life.
But this new offering from CCI seems to go even further, providing shot patterns in pistols ranging from .38-caliber all the way up to .45 Auto. We see this as handy fodder in trail guns, hunting camp, ranch/farm and could even pull duty for self-defense.
