CCI 3738B HEVI-Bismuth 38 Special/357 Magnum Pest Control Ammo

The CCI 3738B HEVI-Bismuth ammunition delivers effective pest control performance in both 38 Special and 357 Magnum firearms. This specialized load combines CCI's proven manufacturing quality with bismuth shot technology for reliable small game and pest elimination. The non-toxic bismuth composition provides excellent terminal performance while remaining environmentally safe.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead shot loads, the HEVI-Bismuth construction offers superior density compared to steel alternatives while maintaining non-toxic properties. The bismuth pellets retain energy effectively at typical pest control ranges, delivering consistent patterns through both revolver and lever-action platforms. This dual-caliber compatibility eliminates the need for separate ammunition purchases when switching between 38 Special and 357 Magnum firearms.

Key Features

• Non-toxic bismuth shot construction for environmental safety
• Compatible with both 38 Special and 357 Magnum chambers
• Consistent shot patterns for effective pest elimination
• CCI quality primers for reliable ignition in all weather
• Reloadable brass cases for cost-effective shooting
• 10 rounds per box, 20 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Optimized powder charge for reduced recoil and muzzle flash

Field testing demonstrates effective performance on small pests at ranges up to 25 yards, with tight shot groups maintaining lethality without excessive penetration. The bismuth pellets fragment upon impact, reducing ricochet concerns in farm and ranch environments. Reliable cycling occurs in both single-action and double-action revolvers, plus lever-action carbines chambered for these cartridges.
