  • Hi Chester, the one you referenced has lead shot.
    You want CCI 3738B #8 shot. These are 100% lead free, but they are not steel either. The pellets in CCI Pest Control HEVI-Bismuth 38 Special are made of a non-toxic material called Hevi-Bismuth, which has a density similar to lead. This allows for effective pest control while adhering to non-toxic ammunition requirements. (Bismuth is a non-toxic heavy metal)
    Hevi-Bismuth is legal for hunting in Ohio as it is considered a non-toxic shot option.

    Stay safe & have a great day!

  • Chester Sir,
    The CCI 357/38 Special #9 Shotshell ammunition uses lead pellets, not steel. This makes it illegal to use on Ohio public hunting lands, which require steel or other non-toxic shot for vermin.
    CCI also makes a special "Bismuth" version of its shotshells for hunters who require non-toxic alternatives. Bismuth is a dense metal that performs similarly to lead and is a viable alternative where lead shot is prohibited.
    Hope the above info helps Sir Chester and happy hunting 🙏
