The CCI 3745B Pest Control HEVI-Bismuth .45 ACP ammunition delivers maximum stopping power for pest elimination while maintaining environmental safety. This specialized load combines CCI's proven reliability with bismuth projectiles that fragment on impact for immediate incapacitation. Professional exterminators and property managers choose this ammunition for its consistent performance and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional lead bullets.
What Makes This Different
The HEVI-Bismuth construction provides 22% greater density than steel shot while remaining completely non-toxic. Unlike standard lead ammunition, bismuth naturally fragments upon impact, creating multiple wound channels for instant pest elimination. The specialized powder charge generates 850 fps muzzle velocity with 321 ft-lbs of energy, delivering reliable expansion at typical pest control distances of 5-25 yards.
Key Features
- Bismuth projectile construction eliminates lead contamination concerns
- Fragmenting bullet design creates multiple wound channels on impact
- 850 fps muzzle velocity with consistent accuracy to 50 yards
- Non-corrosive Boxer primers ensure reliable ignition
- Reloadable brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- 10-round boxes packed in 20-box cases for bulk purchasing

Field testing demonstrates consistent 2-inch groups at 25 yards from standard .45 ACP pistols. The bismuth construction maintains structural integrity through standard barrel rifling while fragmenting reliably on soft targets. Temperature stability ranges from -20°F to 140°F without velocity variations exceeding 25 fps. Professional pest control operators report 95% one-shot effectiveness on medium-sized pests when proper shot placement is achieved.
