CCI continues to set the standard for quality in the 22 Long Rifle (LR) cartridge. Newly manufactured by CCI, this load is designed for pest control such as killing rats, mice, and snakes at close range (under 15 feet).

Muzzle Velocity: 1,000 fps

I bought these for my father to keep in his garden tractor. The complete lack of heavy recoil or loud concussive blast lets him safely keep the local gopher and mole population under control without straining his wrists or scaring the livestock.

I bought a few boxes online to clear out a massive rat and mouse infestation in my hay barn. Out of a standard revolver, it completely shreds pests at 5 to 10 feet without blowing holes through my metal siding or plastic feed bins. Absolutely indispensable.

The beauty of this #12 shot is that the tiny pellets lose energy almost instantly. I can safely shoot at a rat sitting against a concrete foundation or a wooden beam inside my shed without worrying about a bullet bouncing back and hitting me. Essential safety round.

Took a box out to clear some destructive nesting pests from my unheated workshop at -12°C. Cold weather can sometimes cause weak ignition with specialty rimfire rounds, but CCI’s primers fired instantly with full, hard-hitting payload delivery.

Tested a few rounds on cardboard sheets at varying distances to map out my effective spread chart. The pattern opens up progressively and predictably, letting me know exactly where my maximum ethical distance cuts off.

I keep a magazine loaded with these CCI shotshells when I’m checking fences or hiking through the brush on my property. At close range, the dense cloud of micro #12 shot makes hitting fast-moving pests or venomous snakes incredibly easy and foolproof.

Don’t expect rifle distance, but within its 6 to 10-foot sweet spot, the pattern density of this #12 shot is spectacular. It puts dozens of tiny pellets into a small target, ensuring an instant, humane drop with zero messy cleanups.

I was concerned the blue plastic capsule would melt or leave stubborn residue inside my barrel rifling, but it disintegrates completely upon firing.

Because this is a specialty niche round that CCI only runs in production waves, it sells out incredibly fast whenever it lands in Canada. Finding a bulk deal online was a lifesaver. Stock up deep on them for the season ahead.

Left a box stored away in my remote hunting cabin locker through a brutal winter freeze and a humid summer. Broke them out last weekend and every single round performed flawlessly with zero corrosion.

These specialty shotshells are always sold out at my local hardware store, so finding them online was a massive win for me.😁
