Description
CCI’s Shotshell 22LR Ammo delivers specialized performance for pest control at close range. This 31-grain load features #12 lead shot sealed within a polymer capsule, replacing a standard bullet. Designed for smooth cycling in revolvers and rifles with a smooth bore or dedicated shot barrel, it provides an effective pattern for dispatching rodents, snakes, and small pests without ricochet risk.

The .22 LR shotshell operates on a specific ballistic principle. The capsule fractures upon exiting the muzzle, releasing a cloud of #12 shot. Effective range is limited to approximately 10-15 feet, as velocity and pattern density drop rapidly. This makes it a ballistic tool for a defined task—close-range pest control where over-penetration is a primary concern, not a general-purpose target round.
