CCI Pest Control 10mm Auto Ammo 95 Grain #8 Bismuth Shot - 3710B
CCI Pest Control 10mm Auto ammo is loaded with a 95 grain payload of #8 bismuth shot for handgun-based pest and varmint control. This cartridge uses a centerfire handgun shotshell design rather than a traditional single projectile. CCI lists a muzzle velocity of 1,300 feet per second for this load. The bismuth shot is non-toxic and lead-free, making it suitable for areas with lead restrictions. A Catalyst lead-free primer is used as part of the load’s component system. It is available in boxes of 10 and cases of 200; 10mm bulk ammo cases ship free through Target Sports USA.
Features and Specifications:
- Bismuth Shot Payload: #8 bismuth shot provides a non-toxic alternative to lead while maintaining effective pellet density.
- Lead-Free Construction: Both the shot material and primer are lead-free to meet non-toxic ammunition requirements.
- Handgun Shotshell Design: Uses a centerfire handgun shotshell format rather than a single bullet.
- Pellet Density: Bismuth pellets are rated at 9.6 g/cc, offering performance characteristics similar to traditional lead shot.
- Primer System: Loaded with CCI’s Catalyst lead-free primer for consistent ignition.
- Short-Range Patterning: Designed to deliver usable shot patterns at close distances typical of pest control scenarios.
- Packaging: Available in boxes of 10 and cases of 200; bulk cases ship free through Target Sports USA.
Deep Dive
Overview
This 10mm ammo is intended for pest and varmint control at short distances. The #8 bismuth shot spreads into a pattern rather than traveling as a single projectile, which can be useful for small, fast-moving targets. The non-toxic shot material makes this load suitable for use in environments where lead is restricted. It is commonly selected for property maintenance, outdoor work areas, and similar situations where handgun-based pest control is needed. Performance is focused on close-range effectiveness rather than extended-distance accuracy.
History and Development
CCI has produced specialty handgun ammunition for pest control applications for many years. The Pest Control line builds on CCI’s established centerfire handgun shotshell designs. This version incorporates bismuth shot to meet non-toxic requirements while maintaining effective pellet density. The use of lead-free primers reflects CCI’s broader move toward cleaner, compliant ammunition options. The result is a modern handgun shotshell option tailored to pest control needs.

Why It Stands Out:
CCI Pest Control 10mm Auto shotshell ammunition offers a non-toxic option for close-range pest control. The 95 grain #8 bismuth shot payload provides pattern coverage rather than a single point of impact. A listed velocity of 1,300 fps supports short-range effectiveness.
