Product Overview

For the revolver owner seeking a versatile, close-range solution for pest control and small game, the CCI Shotshell 44 Special Ammo is a purpose-built load. This 200-round pack contains 140-grain cartridges filled with small lead shot, functioning as a miniature shotgun shell designed for handgun cylinders. It is engineered for situations where the dispersion of multiple projectiles is more effective and safer than a single bullet. This Ammunition is ideal for landowners, gardeners, farmers, and recreational shooters who need to humanely dispatch snakes, rats, mice, and other small vermin at very close ranges, typically under 10 feet. It serves as a specialized tool, filling a niche that standard .44 Special ammunition cannot.

Key Features

• 200-Round Capacity: This bulk pack provides ample supply for practice and practical use, ensuring you have enough rounds on hand when needed.
• 140-Grain Lead Shot Load: The contained weight of the shot column balances payload and velocity for effective close-range terminal performance without excessive recoil.
• Revolver-Specific Design: Formulated to function reliably in .44 Special revolvers. The casing and crimp are optimized for the revolver’s cylinder and ejection system.
• Potent Pest Control Formulation: Loaded with #9 or similar fine shot, creating a dense pattern ideal for small, fast-moving targets at extremely close distances.
• CCI Reliability: Manufactured to consistent quality standards with reliable primers and clean-burning propellants for dependable ignition shot after shot.
• Safe for Handgun Use: Designed to be fired from a smooth-bore revolver cylinder. The shot capsule contains the payload, protecting the barrel’s rifling.

Performance & Applications

The CCI .44 Special shotshell is a specialized tool with distinct advantages in specific scenarios. Its performance is highly range-dependent, with optimal effectiveness inside of 10 feet. Beyond this distance, the shot pattern spreads rapidly and loses significant energy.

Primary Use – Vermin Elimination: This is the core application. Whether dealing with a rattlesnake near a workshop, rats in a barn, or mice in a garden, the spread of the shot increases the probability of a quick, humane strike on a small, moving target. It minimizes the risk of ricochet compared to a solid bullet in confined spaces like sheds or under equipment.

Recreational Plinking: For safe, close-range target practice against reactive targets like clays or tin cans placed at very short distances, these rounds offer a unique and low-recoil shooting experience. They are excellent for introducing new shooters to the fundamentals of revolver handling in a controlled environment.

Agricultural & Property Management: For those living in rural areas or on acreage, having a revolver loaded with these shotshells provides a ready means of dealing with invasive pests that threaten livestock feed, crops, or poultry without the over-penetration concerns of a standard bullet.
