The CCI Big 4 Shotshell pistol ammo line gives you a reliable, hard-hitting option for close-range hunting and pest control, and if youre running a 38 Special or firing 357 Magnum handguns this load deserves a look; the No. 4 lead payload in the 81-grain shotshell delivers more energy and longer effective range than conventional handgun shotshells, with a listed muzzle velocity around 1000 fps and about 186 ftlbs of energy, so you get consistent pattern density and terminal performance on small game and nuisance animals. This centerfire shotshell comes in an aluminum casing that feeds cleanly in break-top and revolver platforms designed for handgun shotshells, and the CCI Big 4 series is packed in reusable boxes for secure transport and organized storage. Because its made in the United States and formulated for hunting applications, its a go-to for hunters, land managers, and shooters who need quick, humane results at short to moderate distances; maintenance of proper choke, barrel length and point of aim will give you tight patterns and repeatable hits. If youre looking for dependable pistol shotshells that balance energy, pattern, and handling, the CCI Big 4 No. 4 shot fills that role.
