CCI 3738 Pest Control Shotshell 38 Special 357 Magnum 100gr #9 Shot

The CCI 3738 Pest Control Shotshell transforms standard revolvers into effective tools for eliminating snakes, rats, and other pests at close range. This specialized ammunition delivers #9 shot through a 100-grain payload designed specifically for pest control applications where conventional bullets would be impractical or dangerous.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard handgun ammunition, these shotshells contain multiple small pellets that spread upon firing, creating a wider impact pattern ideal for moving targets. The #9 shot size provides sufficient stopping power for pest elimination while minimizing over-penetration concerns in confined spaces. Each cartridge delivers consistent performance through both .38 Special and .357 Magnum chambers, offering versatility across multiple revolver platforms.

• Dual compatibility with .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers
• 100-grain payload of #9 shot for optimal pest control effectiveness
• Reduced over-penetration risk compared to solid bullets
• Consistent ignition through CCI's proven primer technology
• Brass cases suitable for reloading applications

Field performance demonstrates reliable function across various revolver barrel lengths and cylinder configurations. The shot pattern expands to approximately 6-8 inches at typical engagement distances, providing adequate coverage for fast-moving targets. Weather-resistant construction maintains reliability in humid environments where pest problems commonly occur. Professional pest control operators and property owners rely on this ammunition for situations requiring immediate response without the precision demands of rifle shooting.
