CCI .22 WMR No. 12 Shot

22 WMR Shotshell

The CCI .22 WMR No. 12 Shot turns a .22 Magnum rimfire rifle or revolver into a short-range pest gun. Each round carries a load of tiny #12 shot pellets behind a sealed blue capsule, so instead of a single bullet you get a spreading pattern that makes close-range hits on snakes, rats, and other small pests far easier. CCI calls this the only .22 WMR shotshell on the market, and it is built for pest control and small game at short distance, not for targets downrange.

Features

• .22 WMR Chambering — Loaded for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, so it runs in any rifle or handgun chambered for that cartridge.
• No. 12 Shot Load — Packed with #12 shot, the smallest common pellet size, which fills the air with pellets for an easier hit than a single projectile.
• 1/8 Ounce Payload — Each shell throws a 52-grain charge of shot, enough spread to matter at close range without overkill.
• 1,000 FPS Muzzle Velocity — Leaves the muzzle at 1,000 feet per second, carrying roughly 115 foot-pounds of energy.
• Blue Capsule Payload — The pellets ride inside a sealed blue plastic capsule crimped into the case, keeping the load together until it leaves the barrel.
• Clean-Burning Propellant — The powder is formulated to burn clean and leave less fouling in the action and bore.
• 20 Rounds Per Box — Each box holds 20 cartridges.
• Made In The USA — Manufactured by CCI Ammunition in the United States.

Use And Fit

This is a close-range tool. The small shot pattern loses its punch quickly, which makes it well suited to pests inside a barn, around the coop, or in the garden where a solid bullet would carry too far or do too much damage. It functions as a single shot in most .22 WMR firearms; semi-auto actions may not cycle on the shot load and are best worked by hand. Keep the range short and the pattern does the work for you.
