The CCI 3740B Pest Control HEVI-Bismuth 40 S&W ammunition delivers superior terminal performance for varmint and pest control applications. This specialized load combines CCI's proven reliability with bismuth shot technology for consistent, effective results in challenging situations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead shot loads, the HEVI-Bismuth construction provides increased density and energy transfer while maintaining environmental safety standards. The bismuth shot material delivers 22% greater density than steel alternatives, resulting in improved penetration and knockdown power. This specialized pest control load offers consistent patterning and reliable ignition across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- Bismuth shot construction for superior density and terminal performance
- 40 S&W chambering compatible with standard pistol platforms
- Non-toxic shot material safe for sensitive environments
- CCI primers ensure reliable ignition in all weather conditions
- Specialized pest control load optimized for small game and varmints
- Consistent powder charge for repeatable accuracy
