The CCI Shotshell Handgun Ammo in .45 ACP #9 shot is a practical solution for close-range snake and pest control, offering the CCI Shotshell series' trusted performance when small, fast targets leave little margin for error; with a 120 grain shot payload, aluminum casings for reliable feeding, a muzzle velocity near 1100 fps and roughly 322 ft-lbs of energy, these loads generate tight, consistent patterns that make it easier to stop snakes, raccoons, or other nuisance animals in tight quarters around barns, sheds, and campsites. You'll appreciate that these centerfire handgun shotshells are shipped in reusable boxes for convenient storage and transport, and the U.S.-made lineage and ORM-D shipping designation give you confidence for safe handling and logistics. If you're a landowner, ranch hand, or outdoorsman who carries a .45 ACP for protection and pest work, the CCI Shotshell line delivers the predictable pattern density and terminal performance needed for humane, controlled dispatch at short ranges while maintaining common handgun ballistics and handling you already trust.
