CCI Shotshell Bism. 88grs Nr9 10St .40S&W

CCI Shotshell Bismuth 88grs Nr9 10St
The CCI .40 S&W Hevi-Bismuth Shotshell is the modern, environmentally friendly answer for pest control with service calibers. This specialty cartridge replaces traditional lead shot with a load of approximately 88 grains of bismuth shot (No. 9). Bismuth has a high density (close to lead) but is completely non-toxic. This makes this ammunition excellent for use in sensitive areas, wetlands, or food processing facilities where lead is absolutely taboo. When you buy lead-free .40 S&W shot ammunition, you receive the full coverage and effect of the lead variant, but without the toxic disadvantages.

Application & Target Group (EN)
Non-Tox solution for professionals.

Sensitive environments: Ideal for rat control in warehouses, stables, or near water bodies. Bismuth leaves no toxic residues.
Trapping (Lead-free): Allows for legal compliant follow-up shots in areas with lead bans. The effect on marten or fox at close range is ensured by the high density of bismuth.
Function note: The load is optimized for safety and coverage, not for recoil. As with almost all pistol shot cartridges, the impulse is not sufficient to cycle the slide of a .40 S&W pistol. Manual cycling is required.

Recommendations for Distance
Close-range effect:

Sport shooting / application: Optimized for 2 to 4 meters. The shot opens quickly due to the twist of the barrel.
Zeroing: Not necessary. Keep the spot at 3 meters.
Maximum effective range: Approximately 4 to 5 meters. Bismuth shot is brittle and often breaks upon impact with hard bones, maximizing energy transfer to the target.

FAQ
Is bismuth harmful to the barrel?
No, bismuth is softer than barrel steel and is also contained in a plastic capsule.
Why doesn't it cycle?
The moving mass (shot + capsule) is too light compared to a 180gr full metal jacket bullet, for which the .40 spring is designed.
