The CCI 0025 Pest Control shotshell transforms the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire into an effective close-range pest elimination tool. This specialized ammunition delivers a spread pattern ideal for controlling rodents, snakes, and small pests at typical barn and property distances. The 52-grain payload of #12 shot provides sufficient stopping power while minimizing over-penetration concerns.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard .22 WMR bullets that can over-penetrate or ricochet in confined spaces, this shotshell design disperses energy across multiple pellets. The #12 shot creates a wider impact zone than single projectiles, increasing hit probability on moving targets. CCI's consistent powder charges ensure reliable cycling in semi-automatic firearms and consistent patterns from shot to shot.
Key Features
- 52-grain payload of #12 shot for optimal pest control performance
- .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire chambering for increased velocity over .22 LR
- Specialized shot cup design prevents barrel leading and ensures clean extraction
- Brass case construction with reliable rimfire priming system
- 20-round boxes packaged in 100-round cases for bulk purchasing
- Compatible with all .22 WMR rifles and revolvers
- Effective range of 10-25 yards for pest control applications
This ammunition excels in agricultural settings, around livestock areas, and property maintenance situations where traditional bullets pose safety concerns. The shot pattern spreads to approximately 6-8 inches at 15 yards, providing effective coverage for quick-moving targets. Weather-resistant brass cases and sealed primers maintain reliability in humid barn environments and outdoor storage conditions.
