CCI .22 WMR No. 12 Shot

22 WMR Shotshell Pest Load

CCI's .22 WMR shotshell turns a magnum rimfire rifle or revolver into a short-range pest gun. A shotshell is a cartridge loaded with a charge of small pellets instead of a single bullet, so it throws a spread pattern that makes snakes, rats and other close-range vermin easier to hit. It is for barn, shed, garden and trail use, where a single bullet is more gun than the job needs.

Features

• .22 WMR Chambering — Built for firearms chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, the longer, more powerful sibling of .22 LR.
• No. 12 Shot — Number 12 is a very fine pellet size, small enough to pack a dense pattern into a rimfire case for close work on small pests.
• 1/8 Ounce Shot Charge — Each round carries a 1/8 oz payload of shot, listed by CCI at 52 grains.
• 1000 FPS Muzzle Velocity — The load leaves the muzzle at a rated 1000 feet per second.
• Capsule-Held Payload — A blue capsule seated in the case mouth holds the shot together until firing.
• Consistent Patterns — CCI designed this load to throw consistent patterns, which means more predictable hits on small, fast targets.
• Clean-Burning Propellant — The powder leaves minimal residue, and standard cleaning removes whatever remains in the barrel.
• 20-Round Box — Packed 20 cartridges to a box.
• Made In USA — Manufactured in the United States by CCI.

Load Data and Fit

This is a .22 WMR cartridge only. It will not chamber or fire safely in a .22 LR or .22 Magnum-adjacent caliber such as .17 HMR, so check the marking on your barrel before loading. The box lists 1/8 oz of #12 shot at 1000 fps, and CCI states it is the only 22 WMR shotshell on the market. Fine shot loses energy quickly, so this load is meant for close-range pests and small game, not distance shooting.
