Description

The CCI Big 4 Shotshell transforms standard revolvers into effective close-range pest control and snake defense tools. This specialized ammunition delivers multiple projectiles in a single shot, providing superior pattern coverage compared to traditional single-projectile rounds.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard bullet loads, the Big 4 shotshell contains #4 shot pellets that create a spread pattern ideal for small pest elimination and snake encounters. The 84-grain payload delivers consistent patterns at close range while maintaining manageable recoil in both .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers. CCI's capsule design ensures reliable feeding and ejection in cylinder chambers designed for rimmed cartridges.

Key Features

#4 shot pellets provide optimal balance of penetration and pattern density
84-grain total payload weight for effective close-range performance
Dual compatibility with .38 Special and .357 Magnum chambers
Specialized capsule construction prevents shot spillage during handling
Non-corrosive primers ensure consistent ignition and barrel preservation
10-round boxes allow convenient quantity for pest control needs
Brass cases suitable for reloading with proper shot shell components

Field testing demonstrates effective patterns within 15 feet, making these rounds particularly valuable for agricultural pest control, camping snake defense, and close-quarters varmint elimination. The shot spread increases beyond 10 yards, reducing effectiveness on small targets but maintaining stopping power for larger threats. Recoil remains mild compared to equivalent-weight bullet loads, allowing rapid follow-up shots when necessary.
