The CCI 3710 Pest Control ammunition delivers effective short-range pest elimination with specialized shotshell design in 10mm Auto caliber. This 105-grain load provides the stopping power needed for close-quarters pest control while minimizing over-penetration risks in residential and agricultural settings.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard jacketed bullets, the CCI 3710 uses a shotshell configuration loaded with #12 shot pellets that create a spread pattern ideal for hitting small, fast-moving targets. The 10mm Auto cartridge provides significantly more power than .22 caliber pest control rounds, ensuring reliable performance on larger rodents and nuisance animals. The specialized crimp and shot charge deliver consistent patterns at ranges up to 10 yards.
Key Features
- 105-grain shotshell load with #12 shot for maximum spread effectiveness
- 10mm Auto chambering provides superior power over smaller pest control calibers
- Reduced over-penetration risk compared to solid projectiles
- Consistent ignition with CCI's non-corrosive primers
- Clean-burning powder reduces fouling in semi-automatic pistols
- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Factory-loaded quality control ensures reliable feeding and extraction
Field performance shows effective patterns within 7-10 yards, making this ammunition suitable for barn pest control, garden protection, and close-range varmint elimination. The shot spread compensates for quick target movement while the 10mm platform provides enough energy for humane kills on rats, squirrels, and similar-sized pests. Semi-automatic pistols cycle reliably with this load's pressure curve.
