This Ammunition redefines the capability of handgun shotshells, moving beyond traditional snake shot with its innovative payload. Each 200-round case contains 20 reusable boxes of 10 rounds, providing ample supply for training and field use. Designed for revolver owners, this ammo is engineered to deliver superior pattern density and extended effective range.

Key Features

• No. 4 Lead Shot Payload: The defining feature of this shotshell is its payload of 84 grains of #4 lead shot. This larger shot size, compared to the finer shot found in conventional handgun shotshells, carries more energy per pellet and offers better penetration, significantly expanding its practical range and effectiveness.
• Extended Effective Range: By utilizing the heavier #4 shot, the CCI Big 4 loads maintain a dense, lethal pattern at distances where smaller shot sizes would have dispersed too widely or lost stopping power, allowing for confident engagement at longer ranges.
• High-Capacity Packaging: You receive a total of 200 rounds, organized into 20 individual, reusable plastic boxes of 10 rounds each. This packaging ensures easy storage, transport, and quick access while keeping your ammunition protected from the elements.
• .38 Special Compatibility: Designed to function reliably in any .38 Special revolver, these centerfire shotshells offer a convenient and instantly accessible pest control solution without the need to carry a separate shotgun.
• Proven CCI Reliability: Built with CCI's stringent quality control standards, these shotshells offer consistent ignition, powder burn, and pattern performance shot after shot, which is critical when dealing with pests.
• Reusable Containers: The durable 10-round boxes are designed for long-term use, providing a practical way to organize your ammunition supply long after the initial shells have been fired.
