CCI 22 LR Shotshell #12 2000 Rd Case – Reliable 31gr Snake Shot, 1000 fps, 100 Boxes of 20

Description

CCI 22 LR Shotshell #12 2000 Rd Case gives you a full case of the popular CCI 22 LR snake shot. Each cartridge carries a 1/15 oz (31 grain) payload of fine number 12 lead shot at a rated 1000 feet per second, turning a rimfire rifle or pistol into a close-range pest gun.

CCI says consistent propellant and its reliable priming produce patterns you can count on every time, which is why these shells are a favorite for dealing with snakes around the barn, rats in the feed room and other small pests where a single bullet would be the wrong tool. It is practical pest control ammo for farms, ranches and campsites.

• Rated 1000 fps

CCI 22 LR Shotshell #12 2000 Rd Case Features

• Fine shot pattern for snakes, rodents and birds at close range
• Lower risk of long-range travel than a solid bullet
• Popular for barns, gardens, campsites and trails
• Bulk case keeps a steady supply on hand

As pest control ammo, these shells are best suited to small animals at very close range. They are not intended for self-defense or for larger animals, and they should never be relied on beyond a few yards.

Clean your firearm after shooting shotshells, since the plastic or crimped shot capsules and lead residue can foul the bore and cylinder more than standard bullets. A quick pass with a bore snake keeps accuracy consistent when you switch back to regular ammunition.

Buying a full case is practical for farms and ranches that go through snake shot regularly during the warm months. Splitting a case among neighbors is another way to keep costs down while ensuring everyone has a reliable supply.

Rimfire shotshells like the CCI 0039 have been a staple on farms and ranches for generations. They let a single 22 revolver handle both small pests at close range and, when loaded with standard cartridges, plinking and small game, which is why many owners keep a mixed cylinder or a box of each in the truck.

Using a Rimfire Shotshell Effectively

A rimfire shotshell is a close-range tool. The fine number 12 shot spreads quickly, so it is most effective inside roughly 10 feet, which is exactly the distance at which most snake and rodent encounters happen. Patterns are best from smoothbore 22 guns; rifled barrels spin the payload and open the pattern faster, so test your firearm to see where it performs.

Because the pellets lose energy quickly, 22 LR snake shot is a safer choice than a solid bullet around buildings, livestock and hard surfaces where a ricochet or long-distance miss would be a concern. Always wear eye protection, since small pellets can bounce off hard surfaces.

Farmers, ranchers, hikers, campers and homeowners who keep a 22 LR revolver or rifle for pest control will get the most from this case. Shotshells may not cycle semi-automatic actions, so they work best in revolvers, single-shots and manually operated rifles.

Store this ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original boxes. Many owners keep a box in the truck, barn and tackle box so snake shot is always within reach.
