Much like its Vista Outdoor companion Federal Premium, CCI piqued the interest of media members at SHOT Show 2016, thanks to the introduction of its new Big 4 handgun shotshell. Big 4 is designed to extend the range and capabilities of downsized shotshells, using a payload of No. 4 lead shot.

The resulting energy and patterns delivered by the No. 4 shot are meant to help Big 4 take down larger pests at longer ranges. At its release, Big 4 will be available in four chamberings: 9mm Luger, .38 Special/.357 Mag., .44 Special/44 Mag. and .45 Colt. All will be available for less than $20 a box.

Features

• Centerfire handgun shotshells
• No. 4 lead payload delivers more energy and longer range than conventional handgun shotshells
• Packed in resuable boxes of 10 shotshells
• Available in a variety of popular calibers

Member's Hunt: Patience is Tough When You Shoot a Big Buck

My phone still in my hands, I texted my teenage son, who was hunting along the field not far away.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued?
