The CCI Big 4 Shotshell transforms .44 Magnum and .44 Special revolvers into effective close-range pest control and small game hunting tools. This specialized ammunition combines the stopping power of a .44 caliber platform with the spread pattern of #4 shot for enhanced hit probability at short distances.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard solid projectiles, the Big 4 Shotshell delivers multiple pellets per round, creating a wider impact zone that increases effectiveness on moving targets. The 110-grain shot load generates sufficient energy for pest elimination while reducing over-penetration risks in confined spaces. CCI's capsule design ensures consistent pellet release and maintains accuracy standards expected from precision ammunition.
Key Features
- Dual caliber compatibility: .44 Remington Magnum and .44 S&W Special chambers
- 110-grain #4 shot payload delivers multiple projectiles per round
- Specialized capsule construction prevents pellet deformation during firing
- Optimized powder charge balances velocity with manageable recoil
- Brass cases sized for reliable extraction in all cylinder configurations
- Factory-fresh primers ensure consistent ignition across temperature ranges
- 10-round boxes provide convenient quantity for range sessions and field use
Field performance testing demonstrates effective patterns within 15 yards, making this ammunition suitable for barn pest control, small varmint hunting, and close-range defensive applications. The shot pattern expands predictably, with dense core coverage maintaining stopping power while outer pellets extend the effective hit zone. Weather-sealed construction resists moisture infiltration during storage and transport.
