You can’t very well carry around a shotgun or varmint rifle all day. How, then, do you make certain you are always equipped to handle a pest? Simple: by carrying around a .45 ACP handgun all day, and loading it with CCI Pest Control Shotshell ammunition.

This handgun round is indeed a little shotshell. Its payload of #8 shot weighs only 115 grains, which the .45 ACP easily propels to supersonic velocity without overpressurization. At short range, the dense spread is immensely lethal on small game.

This is lead-free ammo. Its bismuth (9.6 g/cc) shot pellets aren’t as dense as lead (11.3 g/cc) ones, but they are still denser than steel (7.8 g/cc). In effect, you’re getting the best of two worlds: the nontoxicity of steel, albeit with higher striking power.

This ammo’s Catalyst primers are also lead-free, so you’ll really be going above and beyond from an environmentalist’s standpoint. CCI’s cases are aluminum, and they match the profile of a conventional .45 ACP JHP load to ensure normal passage through a semi-automatic. Just take care that aluminum isn’t reloadable!
