CCI Pest Control .22 WMR shotshell ammunition (part no. 25) loads a 52-grain payload of #12 shot into the larger .22 WMR case, giving more shot charge and reach than a standard .22 LR shotshell for close-range pest work. CCI Ammunition builds the shotshell around an aluminum case that opens the shot pattern quickly, turning a .22 WMR revolver or rifle into a snake-and-rat tool at arm’s length. In rimfire ammunition, this is the step up from .22 LR shotshells when the pest problem calls for a bit more payload.

Key Specifications
